发帖数: 42116 | 1 An Air India flight had to make a precautionary landing at the Indira Gandhi
International Airport on Monday morning after a transponder defect was
detected. The Delhi-Chicago flight, a Boeing 777, returned within three
hours of take off.
Air traffic control (ATC) uses an aircraft’s transponder to identify it and
aircrafts with defective transponders are not allowed to enter the European
airspace, prompting the Air India flight to return.
The incident, airport sources said, was reported at 2.15 am when the flight
AI 127 was scheduled for take off to Chicago. Sources said that there were
313 passengers and 16 crew members on board. |
