Air India plans to operate a special flight to Shannon on Wednesday to bring stranded passengers to Delhi after their flight was diverted to the Irish town following a technical issue with the aircraft.

On Monday, the airline's A350 aircraft flying from New York to Delhi was diverted to Shannon due to a technical issue. Later, the plane was grounded at the Irish town.

An official on Tuesday said the airline plans to operate the special flight on Wednesday, most likely from Zurich, to ferry the stranded passengers from Shannon to Delhi.
