A JetLite plane with 47 passengers has landed under emergency conditions at the NSC Bose International Airport in Kolkata shortly after taking off for Patna due to malfunctioning of a wheel.

Airport sources said the flight took off, but one of its wheels did not get in during the ascent, forcing the pilot to ask the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) for permission for emergency landing.

All the arrangements for emergency landing were made and the plane landed safely.

The passengers were later accommodated in other flights, the sources said adding the plane was taken for repair.
