Stranded Air India passengers in Russia depart for San Francisco

All of the Indian travellers who were stranded in Russia have been picked up by an Air India ferry flight that was rescheduled from Mumbai and has departed for San Francisco. The ferry aeroplane also carried more necessities than it normally does to accommodate all of the stranded people.

The airline stated in a statement on Thursday morning that it had enlisted more local assistance at the destination to ensure that all passengers’ arrival clearance procedures went smoothly.

“The team at SFO (San Francisco) is prepared to provide all necessary assistance to the passengers, including but not limited to medical care, ground transportation, and onward connections in applicable cases,” the airline said on Thursday morning.

An Air India flight, headed to San Francisco from New Delhi with 216 passengers and 16 crew was diverted to Magadan in Russia on Tuesday after a technical issue with one of its engines.
