New Delhi, May 26

An Air India plane en route to Vancouver returned to Delhi shortly after take-off on Friday due to a technical issue, according to the airline.

The Boeing 777 aircraft operating flight AI185 landed back safely in the national capital.

“Air India flight AI185 Delhi to Vancouver dated May 26, operated by B777 aircraft has air returned to Delhi following a technical issue shortly after take-off,” it said in a statement.

The airline said it is making alternative arrangements for the passengers while providing all support.

Details about the number of passengers on board the plane could not be immediately ascertained.

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).
