The horrific accident of an Air India plane in Ahmedabad last week created a stir across the country. More than 270 people died in this accident. While this incident was fresh, a major accident was also averted at Lucknow Airport yesterday. Suddenly, sparks and smoke started coming from the wheels of the plane coming from Saudi Arabia, creating chaos at Lucknow Airport.
Flight SV 3112 took off from Jeddah at 10:45 pm. The plane carrying 250 passengers who had completed the Hajj pilgrimage had reached Lucknow Airport from Saudi Arabia. As the plane was moving along the runway, smoke and sparks were seen coming out of the left wheel, so the pilot stopped the plane from landing as a precaution.
As soon as the pilot noticed the malfunction in the plane, he immediately informed the air traffic controller. The airport fire brigade then reached the spot and doused the fire with foam and water spray. It took about 20 minutes to bring the situation under control. By then, the airport staff had safely evacuated all the passengers. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, but there was an atmosphere of fear and panic among the passengers present on the plane during the incident.
The plane took off from Jeddah airport at 11:30 pm on Saturday. There were 250 passengers on board, including crew members. The plane reached Lucknow at 6:30 am on Sunday. The takeoff and landing were normal, but the incident occurred while the plane was approaching the runway after landing.
On the other hand, a plane coming from Frankfurt, Germany, to Hyderabad was sent back after receiving information that there was a bomb. However, no bomb was found on the plane during the investigation in Frankfurt. It is being said that the information that there was a bomb was received after the plane took off. In such a situation, the plane was called back to Frankfurt. Two hours after the flight, the plane landed again in Frankfurt. This plane belonged to Lufthansa Airlines.
A British Airways plane going from London to Chennai returns mid-air
A British Airways Dreamliner 787-8 model BA35 flying from London to Chennai made a mid-air turn shortly after takeoff and returned to Heathrow Airport due to a technical fault. According to initial information, this decision was taken due to a 'flap failure'. British Airways has not officially disclosed the exact time of the flight, the number of passengers and crew on board, or how long it was in the air.
But according to a live flight tracking website, Flightradar24.com, flight BA35 departed London for Chennai at 12:40 pm on Monday and was scheduled to arrive in Chennai at 3:30 am. The plane took off at 1:16 pm and returned safely to Heathrow Airport after spending about two hours in the air, circling in various holding patterns.
