An airplane, belonging to Turkish Airlines, made an emergency landing in Kermanshah in Western Iran, while it was en route to Istanbul from Kuwait, IRNA reported.
The Airbus 320 called for an emergency landing in Kermanshah's Shahid Ashrafi Airport due to technical failure.
The passengers were taken to a nearby hotel and will be sent to Istanbul by another plane Sunday night.
A substitute plane has reportedly left Turkey to Kermanshah to take the passengers to Istanbul, the official said.
