A ferry flight carrying Air India passengers from a diverted San Francisco-bound flight landed in the Bay Area Friday night.
Air India Flight 183 from Delhi to San Francisco was diverted to Krasnoyarsk International Airport in Russia after the pilots "detected a potential issue in the cargo hold area," the airline said Thursday. The plane, carrying 225 passengers and 19 crew members, landed safely.
The ferry flight, Air India 1179, was scheduled to arrive at San Francisco International Airport at about 8:15 p.m. Friday, according to FlightAware. The flight arrived a few minutes past the expected time at 8:22 p.m.
"Air India regrets the inconvenience to passengers arising from this diversion, which was undertaken in the interest of safety," the airline said in a post on X.
