Air India flight makes emergency landing at Gaya

A New Delhi-bound Air India flight from Gaya with 134 people on board made an emergency landing at the Airport after taking off following oil leakage in its landing wheel.

An Airport official said the flight via Varanasi took off from Gaya airport at 4:40 PM with 127 passengers, including former minister and Congress MP Shashi



Tharoor, and seven crew members on board. However, after being airborne for about 10 minutes, the Airbus returned to the airport as its landing gear did not retract due to an oil leakage, forcing the pilot to seek an emergency landing. A technical team of Air India would arrive tomorrow to rectify the snag, the official said.
