An Alliance Air flight made an emergency landing at Delhi airport 12 minutes after it took off for Jaipur after the aircraft’s crew detected a problem with the landing gear.

All 59 passengers on board are safe.

An official at the IGI airport in the national capital said the state-run Air India subsidiary had departed from Delhi at 8.13 pm for the 65 minute flight. Eight minutes later, the airport operations control centre received a message that the aircraft’s landing gear had developed a problem.

A full emergency was declared at the airport.

An Air India spokesperson said an emergency landing was declared for the Delhi-Jaipur flight “due to a problem in nose landing gear and some material failure”.
