We’re advised the potential challenge was decided to be non-credible, however per New Delhi Airport protocol, an inspection was required earlier than touchdown in India.
The flight will keep in Rome in a single day to permit for required crew relaxation earlier than persevering with to New Delhi as quickly as tomorrow.
