United Kingdom: On 8 January 2026, Air India flight AI117, a Boeing 787‑8 from Amritsar, India, to Birmingham, UK, declared a general emergency due to low fuel after prolonged holding caused by Storm Goretti, which brought heavy snow and poor visibility.
The crew aborted the initial approach to Birmingham Airport and entered a holding pattern as runway operations were suspended. Fuel reserves dropped to critical levels, prompting the pilots to transmit Squawk 7700 and divert to London Heathrow, chosen for its longer runways and advanced landing systems.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 09L, with no injuries reported. The incident underscores the importance of fuel management and emergency protocols during severe weather disruptions.
