A Delhi-bound Emirates flight carrying Indian External Affairs Minister S M Krishna was diverted to Karachi on Thursday night due to inclement weather in the Indian capital, an airlines official said.
The flight EK-514 DXB-DEL, which took off from Dubai at 15.40 pm, was to land in New Delhi, but due to bad weather it was diverted to Karachi, an Emirates spokesman said on Thursday night.
