London-bound Virgin Atlantic flight makes emergency landing at Bengaluru airport after technical snag

On Sunday, a Virgin Atlantic flight bound for London was forced to make an emergency landing at Bengaluru airport due to a technical issue. The aircraft, carrying 270 passengers, took off from Kempegowda International Airport around 8.20 am but experienced a technical snag shortly after departure. The crew then circled the aircraft near Tumakuru for over half an hour before returning to Bengaluru for a safety precaution landing.

All passengers were reported to be safe, and Virgin Atlantic has yet to issue a statement regarding the incident. Airport authorities are investigating to determine the exact nature of the technical problem.
