A Ho Chi Minh City-bound Jet Airways flight via Bangkok carrying 184 passengers on board from the Chhtrapati Shivaji International Airport here made an emergency landing at Myanmar's Yangon airport due to a snag in the Boeing 737 aircraft.
Jet Airways flight 9W-070 from Mumbai to Bangkok was diverted to Yangon on January 5, 2016 due to technical reasons. The aircraft landed safely at 1410 hours local time in Yangon, the airline said in a statement today.
Jet Airways operated a relief flight from Delhi to Yangon to fly the stranded passengers to Bangkok, it said.
