Vistara engine faces ‘minor’ malfunction at Delhi airport, passengers safe
The flight – Flt UK-122 (BKK-DEL) – landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on 5 July.
Vistara's Bangkok-bound flight to Delhi landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on 5 July. The airline said one of the engines had developed a "minor" electrical malfunction after the aircraft landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Tuesday.
After vacating the runway, the engine number 2 of the aircraft was shut down as pilots wanted to do single-engine taxiing using engine number 1, DGCA officials said.
However, as engine number 1 suffered a ‘minor’ malfunction at the end of the taxi way, a tow truck was brought to take the aircraft to the parking bay, they said.
In a statement, a Vistara spokesperson said: “After landing in Delhi, while taxing to the parking bay, our flight UK122 (BKK-DEL) had a minor electrical malfunction on 05July, 2022. Keeping passenger safety and comfort in mind the crew elected to tow the aircraft to the bay."
All passengers safely disembarked from the plane, they said.
