Air India Scare: On Tuesday (17 June) early in the morning, such a news came out, which put the passengers in some trouble. Air India flight AI180 from San Francisco to Mumbai was to go via Kolkata, but at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport itself, its left engine developed a technical fault. Due to this, the passengers had to get off the plane and stay in Kolkata itself.

According to PTI news agency, the captain of the plane told the passengers that this decision has been taken keeping in mind their flight safety. Obviously, nothing is more important than the safety of the passengers!

This flight left San Francisco on its scheduled time and reached Kolkata airport at 12:45 am on Monday night. But again the same technical glitch got stuck. After waiting for more than four hours, the passengers were asked to get off the plane at 5:20 am on Tuesday.

A video has also surfaced, in which the Air India plane is seen standing on the tarmac of Kolkata airport and the ground staff is inspecting the engine. This shows how seriously the issue was taken.

Are there any other recent news of plane crashes?

This news has also led to discussions of some recent incidents. However, we need to thoroughly check the facts here as some of the information may be outdated or incorrect.

The article mentions the Air India AI-171 plane crash in Ahmedabad, which is said to have hit the hostel building of BJ Medical College and killed 270 people. This information is incorrect and outdated.

The incident mentioned in the article is related to the 1995 Saudi Arabian plane crash, not any recent Air India incident. In that accident, Air India Flight 113 and Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 763 collided. It was a major aviation accident, but linking it to recent events is not factually correct. In the current context, no such recent Air India incident has come to light.

Smoke in Saudi Airlines plane at Lucknow airport

A day before this incident, a case of smoke coming out of a Saudi Airlines plane was reported at Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow. This plane had brought 242 pilgrims from Jeddah. While landing, smoke started coming out from the wheels of the plane, after which an alarm was immediately sounded at the airport.

The good thing was that all the passengers were evacuated safely and the plane also did not suffer any major damage. Airport officials said that this incident did not affect the operations.

Danish Azad Ansari, Minister of State for Minority Welfare of Uttar Pradesh and Chairman of Uttar Pradesh Haj Committee, told in Ballia that all the pilgrims are completely safe. He said that there was no problem during the journey, there was just a little problem while landing. It is a matter of relief that all the pilgrims returned comfortably.

This was the details of recent incidents related to air travel. Safety is always paramount in air travel, and whenever such a technical problem occurs, it is important to take it seriously.
