Half a dozen travelers required medical treatment following an emergency evacuation at Delhi’s main airport early Sunday morning, according to reports from the Economic Times.
The Swiss Air aircraft, which was scheduled to fly from India’s capital to Zurich, experienced a catastrophic engine malfunction during its takeoff attempt at Indira Gandhi International Airport. The engine failure resulted in a fire, forcing flight crew to immediately halt the departure and order passengers to evacuate the plane while still on the runway.
All six injured passengers were taken to local hospitals for treatment following the emergency response on April 26th.
