Air India to fly diverted passengers from Russia on Wednesday

ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Air India will send a plane on Wednesday to pick up passengers and crew who were on board a flight diverted to Russia and fly them to their original destination, San Francisco, it said in a statement on Tuesday.

An Air India plane headed for San Francisco from Delhi was forced to divert and land at Magadan airport in Russia’s Far East after it developed a technical issue with one of its engines.
