A Mumbai-bound Air India flight from London was diverted to Budapest in Hungary tonight following a technical snag.

The flight landed at Budapest Airport safely and the passengers have been taken care of, an Air India spokesperson told PTI here. The AI plane took off from London at its scheduled time 1:30 am (7:30 pm IST) and landed safely in Budapest at 5:52 pm local time (10:22 pm IST), he said.

According to sources, the flight, AI-130 from London to Mumbai, was diverted to Budapest due to technical problem in one of the engines. Air India is making all arrangements to fly the stranded passengers safely to Mumbai as soon as possible, the spokesperson said.
