Another Air India Fiasco!

It looks like Air India is on one long run or mishaps and bad services. Recently an Air India craft that was flying from Delhi to Mumbai returned back to the airport when it was found that one of the doors of the plane had not been shut properly!

Although it could have been a false alarm but as they say better safe then dead!

Air India Plane cracks a windshield!

An Air India plane recently cracked it windshield when a stone (probably) came hurtling at it at break neck speeds. Apparently the blast from the jet engines of a Jet Airways aircraft that was in front caused the stone to hit the wind shield.

The flight was disrupted.Talk about flying objects!

The rise of the Super Hero passengers!

Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam bound for Detroit was nearly blown up by a Nigerian Terrorist. Apparently he tried to ignite an explosive device using a chemical syringe. After 9/11 the passengers have taken matters in to their own hands. While some people on board the airline overpowered him others doused the fire!

Now that's what I call saving the day! 

Reliving the Darkest Hours!

IC 814 has gone down in history as India's worst hijack. It left many bereaved, many heartbroken, many helpless and even dispelled the hope we have in our government. 10 years down the line a movie by the name of Pavanam (Journey) will be made in Tamil and Telugu,at a budget of Rs 11 crores.

The hijacking of Indian Airlines' IC 814 from Nepal to Kandahar has definitely taught us a few lessons. Hope fully 2010 will a year when flying can become completely hassle free and safe.

We remember all who lost their lives in the tragedy of IC 814.

Single engine Landing!

A Spice Jet aircraft headed to Chennai from Coimbatore almost did not make it when one of the engines failed. Although the pilot expertly landed the plane on a single engine the technical snag could have ended in a disaster for all the 121 passengers on the Boeing 737.

Thank god for expert training!

Medical Tests Mandatory for Crew

The DGCA has just made it mandatory for all crew members to  undergo medical tests. I wonder if this will curb the pilots from taking a tiny sip or two of ...lets just say a spirit enhancing drink! Now i guess flying high will only mean working on the plane!

Crashing Scots!

The largest airline operating from Scotland went bust yesterday. Rumors about the company crashing were afloat for a few days. But yesterday it was confirmed that the company Flyglobespan was operating under heavy losses for the past few years. Since the company went bust yesterday scores of crew members flying around the globe including India.

They do say what goes up must come down, but what a crash!
