NEW DELHI—Air India said on Friday a plane with food and other essentials was on its way to pick up passengers stranded in Russia after the previous day’s San Francisco-bound flight made an emergency landing there.

An Air India airplane flying from Delhi to the West Coast city made an emergency landing in Russia after the crew detected a potential issue in the cargo hold area, its second such incident on the route in just over a year.
