Vistara flight from Bangkok to Delhi fails

An engine of a Vistara aircraft on its way from Bangkok failed after it arrived at the Delhi airport, but all passengers disembarked safely, aviation regulator DGCA said on Wednesday.

One of the engines had developed a'minor' electrical malfunction after the aircraft landed at Indira Gandhi International Airport on Tuesday.

After vacating the runway, engine number 2 of the aircraft was shut down because pilots wanted to do single-engine taxiing using engine number 1, DGCA officials said. A tow truck was brought to the parking bay after engine number 1 failed at the end of the taxiway.

They said all passengers were safely disembarked from the plane. A Vistara spokeswoman said after landing in Delhi while taxing to the parking bay, our flight UK 122 BKK-DEL had a minor electrical malfunction on 05 July 2022. The crew decided to tow the aircraft to the bay in order to keep passenger safety and comfort in mind.
