NEW DELHI, Aug 27: An Indian Airlines plane with 87 passengers aboard made an emergency landing soon after takeoff at New Delhi’s airport Saturday following the pilot’s detection of a technical fault, a report said.

The plane was on a domestic flight to the southern city of Hyderabad, the Press Trust of India reported, quoting unidentified police sources.

It returned to the airport within half an hour of its departure after the pilot detected a hydraulic problem, the news agency said.

Fire engines and ambulances rushed to the runway and the plane arrived safely, the report said.—AFP
