Delhi-bound Air India flight from Newark makes emergency landing in Sweden

New Delhi, India: Delhi-bound Air India flight, AI106, from New York carrying 300 passengers made an emergency landing at Sweden’s Stockholm airport after detecting technical glitches on Wednesday (Feb 22). All passengers are safe.

The flight was diverted to Stockholm as it had an oil leak in one of the engines. Several fire tenders rushed towards the aircraft on arrival at Stockholm airport.

“Air India flight AI 106 from Newark to Delhi developed a technical snag and diverted to Sweden, (Stockholm) airport safely,” an Air India official told ANI.

Following the oil leak, the engine was shut down, and later the flight landed safely in Stockholm, a senior Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) official said.
