Emergency landing

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: A Bangalore-bound Indian airline flight made an emergency landing at Delhi airport here on Thursday due to suspected hydraulic failure.

This is the second time that an Indian aircraft has had this problem in December.

"The flight took off at 10-30 a.m., but returned to the airport around noon because the pilot suspected that there was a snag. The aircraft was then towed off the runway. All passengers are safe," said an airport spokesman.
