Kenya Airways diverts Nairobi-bound flight due to mechanical fault

Nairobi, Kenya: Thirty eight passengers aboard a Kenya Airways (KQ) flight from New Delhi to Nairobi were Monday delayed for at least four hours as the plane they were travelling in developed mechanical problems and had to be re-routed.

The Boeing 737- 700 which was to arrive in Nairobi on Monday at 12.20pm developed a mechanical fault in the fuel control system and although it had enough fuel, it needed to land at the nearest alternate airport.
