An Air India Airbus aircraft operating Flight AI2802 from Bengaluru to Delhi makes an emergency landing at Delhi airport after a suspected engine fire indication. According to reports, during the aircraft’s final approach, the cockpit crew receives a fire indication from one of the engines. The indication is described as initially reported and then confirmed as true, though at least one account notes it is not yet clear whether there was actual fire in the engine. The airline says all passengers and crew are safe and disembark normally. News outlets report there are more than 160 people on board, and no injuries are reported.
The aircraft lands safely at Delhi airport, with the crew following standard operating procedures. Flight tracking information indicates the landing takes place at around 9:30 pm. The airline states it initiates a full investigation into the cause of the incident. One outlet also notes the emergency landing follows a separate earlier incident involving another Air India aircraft that suffered a tailstrike in Bengaluru, while the Delhi incident is focused on the engine fire alert.
