Actress Sana Makbul's flight from Jodhpur to Mumbai was diverted to Ahmedabad due to technical issues. She praised IndiGo staff and the pilot after safely reaching Mumbai.
Actress Sana Makbul recently had a mid-air scare when her flight from Jodhpur to Mumbai was unexpectedly diverted to Ahmedabad due to technical issues. The actress, who was returning to Mumbai after a quick work trip, shared the incident on her Instagram story, reassuring fans that she was safe and thanking those who helped during the ordeal.
Sana revealed that the aircraft had to make an emergency landing in Ahmedabad as a precautionary measure. Luckily, she had no check-in luggage, which allowed her to take another flight from Ahmedabad and reach Mumbai safely. However, several other passengers remained stranded at the Ahmedabad airport.
Taking to social media, Sana expressed her gratitude towards the IndiGo staff for their prompt assistance in arranging her onward journey. She also appreciated the pilot of the Jodhpur-Mumbai flight for his quick and timely decision that ensured the safety of all passengers on board.
'By God's grace, everything went smoothly. I was able to catch another flight to Mumbai, and I'm thankful to the IndiGo team and the pilot for handling the situation so well," she wrote.
She also added, 'I don't know what is happening with the world and I don't know what is happening with all the aircrafts, but we need a solution for this."
Meanwhile, the cases of emergency landings and flights being diverted have seen a significant increase after the horrifying Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad that claimed 241 lives and left the nation in a state of shock. Only one of all the passengers seated in the aircraft survived the tragic incident.
Several of the most influential newsrooms in the West had already published their own – albeit fictional – reports. Amid this, filmmaker, comedian, and screenwriter Varun Grover and former pilot Gaurav Taneja, also known as Flying Beast, slammed the West's coverage of the crash.
Varun Grover took to X and wrote, 'Shilling for Boeing. White man will always stand with the white man. Shame." Gaurav Taneja also expressed his frustration over the findings in the preliminary report on X.
How did Western media cover the Air India crash report?
The BBC, on Saturday, ran a breaking banner declaring: 'Air India Crash: Pilot cut off fuel to engines – no fault with plane." Reuters followed with its own take, noting that the fuel switches were moved but omitting the key detail that the cause remains undetermined.
