Kolkata: The cargo plane of UAE's Air Force, which was detained in the city last week, Sunday left for Abu Dhabi on its return journey from China after making a technical halt here.
The C-130 Hercules aircraft which had touched down at the NSC Bose international airport here yesterday afternoon for refuelling left for Abu Dhabi at 10.55 am, airport sources said.
The plane had 10 crew members, including the pilot.
The China-bound plane was detained at Kolkata airport here for over four days since September 6 as the documentation submitted prior to its arrival for a scheduled transit halt had not disclosed that it was carrying arms and ammunition.
