In recent news, it has been reported that Air India had to make an emergency landing in Russia due to a potential issue on one of their flights. The Boeing aircraft was en route to the UK, specifically Birmingham airport, from New Delhi. However, the flight had to divert and land in Moscow after the crew noticed a potential problem in the cargo hold area, according to sources from Reuters.
Thankfully, the Boeing 787-800 made a safe landing at Sheremetyevo International Airport with no injuries to the 258 passengers and 17 crew members on board. The landing took place at approximately 9:30 pm local time last night. This incident adds to the list of airlines that have chosen to avoid Russian airspace since their invasions in Ukraine. In fact, even Europe and North America have closed their airspace to Russian carriers.
Despite these tensions, Air India remains one of the few airlines still operating over Russian airspace. In fact, they are one of about 20 airlines that continue to do so. This recent incident comes just days after a drunk passenger on an EasyJet flight from Gatwick to the Greek island of Kos had to be restrained by both crew and passengers. The plane had to make an emergency landing in Munich due to the unruly passenger attempting to storm the cockpit and open the door.
