Flight to Delhi forcelands in Berlin

London: A British Airways flight to Delhi with 222 passengers and 16 crew members made an emergency landing at a German airport on Sunday following technical problems with its in-flight entertainment system.

The pilot of the Boeing 777 was alerted by a cockpit alarm and the plane was diverted to the Schoenefeld airport, south-east of Berlin.

A British Airways spokesman said that the flight, which left London Heathrow in the morning, has since returned to London and was rescheduled to leave for Delhi in the evening. He said the plane landed safely and no one was hurt. The plane was checked by engineers before returning to London. — PTI
