Alert pilot averts disaster
- 5 years ago
More information have emerged on the major disaster that was averted at the Delhi airport today. The obstacle that the alert SpiceJet found was actually an Emirates aircraft parked on the runway. The Emirates flight had developed a snag and was stationed there. But the air traffic control unaware of the flight being stationed there cleared the landing for the SG 224 flight from Bangalore with 164 passengers.
But the pilot who had deployed his landing gears was in for a rude shock on coming face to face with another flight. Acting swiftly, the pilot aborted the landing process and moved away averting a major disaster.
