A Gulf Air plane, carrying 222 passengers, Wednesday made an emergency landing at Mumbai after it developed a technical snag soon after taking off, a senior Indian Aviation official said.

"The Bahrain-bound Gulf Air flight GF 057 left Mumbai at 10:32 a.m. local time and returned to Mumbai International Airport at 11:24 a.m. due to technical difficulties. The flight landed safely and all the passengers are safe," the official said.

As soon as it landed, it was towed away to the parking bay where a thorough check-up was organized, he said.
