Kuwait Airways flight takes wrong turn, flies over no-fly zone in Delhi
NEW DELHI, Nov 13 (KUNA) -- A Kuwait Airways airplane (Delhi-Kuwait flight), after taking off from Indira Gandhi International airport at Delhi, took a left turn instead of right and headed to the no-fly zone over the Indian Capital Monday.
The plane was brought back on course 'in time.' The plane was heading in the direction of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's residence before it was intercepted, leading English News Channel NDTV 24 x 7 reported today.
An enquiry has been ordered into the matter, officials in the Indian government told KUNA here today.
The Air Traffic Control (ATC) at the Delhi aiport directed the pilot to turn right and chart a course towards Kuwait. Instead, the pilot turned left towards the protected zone. As soon as the plane took the wrong turn, the security forces and the ATC noticed the deviation and the plane was put back on course, the officials said.
Indian Cabinet Secretary BK Chaturvedi will meet the National Crises Management Committee Monday afternoon to review the breach of security, they added.
A meeting has also been called by the Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation to discuss the issue.
On Sunday, Indian airports were put on high alert for the next few days after a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) official received an email from India that Europe or US-bound planes from India could be hijacked.
