A Canadian air force aircraft ferried 191 stranded passengers of an Air India flight from Iqaluit airport to Chicago.

An Air India official on Wednesday said passengers of flight AI127, which was diverted to Iqaluit on October 15, had landed at Chicago. The flight that was diverted on Tuesday had 211 people, including 20 crew members, onboard. Passengers have gone in the Canadian air force aircraft with their hand baggage. Their checked-in baggage will be carried in Air India aircraft when it leaves for Chicago, he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
