Aeroflot Flight From Bangkok To Moscow Makes Emergency Landing In Delhi

An Aeroflot aircraft from Bangkok to Moscow, carrying over 400 people, made an emergency landing at the Delhi airport on Tuesday, according to a source.

Aeroflot, a Russian carrier, said that in accordance with flight safety regulations, the captain of the flight SU273 from Bangkok to Moscow made the decision to perform an unscheduled landing at Delhi airport due to a brief odour of melted plastic.

"The landing was conducted as per standard procedures. No smoke was observed in the cabin," Aeroflot's Press Office said in a statement issued to PTI from Moscow.
