A Singapore-Delhi bound flight landed safely at the IGI Airport here after an emergency was declared for the A380 aircraft which suffered a technical glitch.

"Full emergency was declared for SQ 406 Singapore-Delhi (flight) having 228 people on board. (The aircraft) landed safely on runway 28," an airport official said.

According to the official, a nose wheel issue had prompted the flight's commander to seek emergency landing permission.

After landing, the aircraft was towed away from the runway 28 which was dedicated for this activity.
