An Air India flight from India to San Franciscoto a technical issue with one of the plane’s engines and has landed safely in Russia’s Magadan airport, in the country’s far east, according to a statement from the carrier.
In a statement Wednesday, Air India said a “ferry flight” is scheduled to take off from Mumbai airport at 3.30 a.m. eastern time and will travel to Magadan to take the passengers to San Francisco subject to “necessary clearances.” There are no Air India staff in the remote town of Magadan, the airline said, adding support is being provided to the passengers through “round-the-clock liaison” with the Consulate General of India in Vladivostok, a city about 5,000 kilometers south of Magadan, as well as India’s Ministry of External Affairs, local ground handlers and Russian authorities.
The United States said it was monitoring the situation. “We are aware of a US-bound flight that had to make an emergency landing in Russia, and are continuing to monitor that situation closely,” said State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel.

The airline said in a statement on Wednesday that the plane, a Boeing 777 carrying 216 passengers and 16 crew members, landed safely on Tuesday at Russia’s Magadan airport in the country’s far east. Vedant Patel, a U.S. State Department spokesman, said American citizens were likely on board the flight but could not immediately confirm how many.
