An Alliance Air flight carrying 40 passengers and four crew members made an emergency landing at Delhi airport after suffering an engine failure.
The plane was travelling from Prayagraj to Delhi. Airport sources said the plane made the emergency landing because one of its engines was failing. The plane landed at Delhi Airport around 2:15 p.m.
The plane flies on the Bilaspur-Prayagraj-Delhi route.
Emergency landing sought before reaching Delhi
An Alliance Air spokesperson said the twin-engine turboprop aircraft, operating on the Bilaspur-Prayagraj-Delhi route, was an ATR 72-600.
While reaching Delhi, the pilot sought permission for an emergency landing due to low oil pressure in the left engine.
However, the flight crew did not declare an emergency. The plane subsequently landed safely at Delhi airport.
