AI plane makes unscheduled landing

KOLKATA, AUG. 23. Passengers of an Airbus 310 of Air India, flying from Hong Kong to New Delhi, had a narrow escape when the aircraft developed engine trouble and made an unscheduled landing at the N.S.C. Bose International Airport here last night with one engine working.

The pilot detected problems in the oil supply system of the engines while flying over Bangladesh and decided to make an unscheduled landing here, the Eastern Regional Chief of Air Safety, Civil Aviation, Mr. Ram Nath, said today. The aircraft was later grounded as its engines needed replacement, Mr. Nath said.
