MOSCOW: An Air India Boeing 787-800 passenger plane en route from India to Britain made a precautionary landing in Moscow on Wednesday due to “technical problems,” Sheremetyevo Airport said.
The plane, en route from New Delhi to Birmingham, landed safely without any injuries to all 258 passengers and 17 crew members.
The scheduled departure time of the flight was set for 2135 Moscow time (1835 GMT).
In July, an Air India plane operating from Delhi to San Francisco made a precautionary landing in the Russian region of Siberia after the cockpit crew detected a potential issue in the cargo hold area.

Russia urges restraint as Trump warns Iran of possible strike
- Flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump suggested on Monday that Tehran may be working to restore its weapons programs
MOSCOW: The Kremlin on Tuesday said it was necessary to develop a dialogue with Iran and urged all parties to refrain from escalation after US President Donald Trump said Washington would support another massive strike on Iran.
Flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump suggested on Monday that Tehran may be working to restore its weapons programs after a US strike in June. Iran denies it has a nuclear weapons program.
Moscow has cultivated closer ties with Tehran since the start of its war in Ukraine, and this year signed a strategic partnership treaty with the Islamic Republic.
