However, the Air India termed it as a minor incident, since the plane was empty at the time of repair work, and was doused immediately.
The airline's flight from Delhi to San Francisco was originally the second longest flight, behind the Emirates Auckland to Dubai flight that took 8,825 miles.
Although the route was significantly longer, it took almost two hours less than the original journey - lasting 14 hours and 30 minutes in total.
