Passengers on a flight that was grounded in France for four days over suspicions of human trafficking had valid documents and visas, a lawyer for Romania-based charter carrier Legend Airlines said.
The airline’s Airbus A340 arrived in Mumbai, India on Tuesday carrying 276 passengers after its original flight to Nicaragua from the UAE was grounded in rural Vatry, in the Champagne region, where it had stopped to refuel.
A lawyer acting for Legend Airlines, Liliana Bakayoko, told the Indian Express newspaper that a non-European company had chartered the aircraft, but refused to disclose any further details.
Two passengers were initially detained as part of a human trafficking investigation, but were released after appearing before a judge, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.
There were chaotic scenes at Vatry airport last week as police took over the facility and the terminal filled up with media and local officials.
The airport turned into a makeshift courtroom on Sunday as judges, lawyers and interpreters carried out emergency hearings to determine the next steps.
