Training aircraft crash-lands at Baramati airport after bird hit
A training aircraft of Redbird Flight Training Academy crash-landed at Baramati airport at around 8am on Saturday following a suspected bird-hit incident, said police officials, adding that no injuries were reported. The aircraft made an emergency landing on the airstrip, which falls under the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) and used by Redbird for training operations. Rathod said the pilot's quick response prevented injuries and further damage. (HT PHOTO) Darshan Rathod, deputy superintendent of police (Baramati division), said the trainee pilot was flying solo when the crash occurred. 'The pilot reported that a bird appeared in front of the aircraft during landing, causing the front wheel to get damaged and bent on touchdown. This led the aircraft to veer off the taxiway to the other side of the airport. The front wheel eventually came off due to the damage,' he said. The aircraft made an emergency landing on the airstrip, which falls under the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) and used by Redbird for training operations. Rathod said the pilot's quick response prevented injuries and further damage. Preliminary findings suggest a technical failure, possibly due to the damaged tyre, as the immediate cause of the incident, officials said. Sandeep Gill, superintendent of police, Pune rural, said, 'A probe has been ordered to determine the exact cause of Saturday's crash.' This is the latest in a series of accidents involving Redbird's fleet in Baramati. On October 19, 2023, a Tecnam P2008 aircraft (VT-RBT) experienced engine trouble and crash-landed near Katfal village. Three days later, on October 22, another Tecnam P2008 from the academy crash-landed near Gojubavi village during an emergency landing, injuring the instructor and trainee pilot. Earlier, on September 20, 2021, a Tecnam P2008JC (VT-RBE) overshot the runway at Baramati airport during a solo circuit and landing, causing major damage but no injuries. Other flying schools in Baramati have also reported mishaps. On February 5, 2019, a Cessna 172S (VT-RDX) operated by Carver Aviation crashed after running out of fuel during a solo cross-country training flight, seriously injuring the pilot. Concerns over such incidents led to a complaint to minister of state for civil aviation Murlidhar Mohol on August 2, 2025, urging the Centre to frame stricter safety norms for flight training academies. Following a spate of five accidents in six months, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had suspended Redbird's flight training operations at all six of its bases in October 2023 to enforce safety improvements. The Delhi-based institute, operational since 2017, runs bases at Baramati in Pune district, Lilabari in Assam, Gulbarga and Belgaum in Karnataka, Seoni in Madhya Pradesh, and Colombo in Sri Lanka. Redbird did not respond to requests for comment.

"Why Target Air India Only": Supreme Court Junks Plea For Safety Audit
The Supreme Court on Friday refused to hear a plea to appoint a retired top court judge for examining Air India's safety practices among other aspects and asked the petitioner why target the airline that witnessed an "unfortunate tragedy". A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi told the petitioner in-person Narendera Kumar Goswami to withdraw his PIL and asked him to move the appropriate forum in case of grievances. "Don't give the impression that you are playing with other airlines. Why target Air India only which recently witnessed an unfortunate tragedy? If you want some regulatory mechanism in place, then why did you not make other airlines as party in your petition? Why only Air India?" the bench asked Goswami, a lawyer. The petitioner claimed to be a victim of "some unfortunate incident" with the airline. Justice Kant then told him, "We also travel every week and know what is the status. There was a tragedy, a very unfortunate one. This is not a time to run down an airline." Goswami in his PIL, which he filed in July, sought directions for constituting an independent committee, headed by a retired Supreme Court judge to examine Air India's safety practices, maintenance procedures, and operational protocols, with a report to be submitted within three months. He also sought a direction for a comprehensive safety audit of Air India's entire fleet by an international aviation safety agency accredited by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), addressing deficiencies identified in the 2024 ICAO audit report, to be completed within six months. Additionally, Directorate General of Civil Aviation was sought to be directed to implement and enforce a transparent, publicly accessible reporting system for all aviation safety incidents, including a centralized database, ensuring compliance with the Aircraft Rules, 1937, and international best practices. The PIL further sought a direction to Air India to provide compensation to the families of AI-171 crash victims in accordance with the Montreal Convention, 1999, and to offer ex-gratia payments or compensation to passengers of AI-143 for distress and inconvenience caused by the safety incident, as per applicable laws and industry standards. The London-bound Air India flight, Boeing Dreamliner 787-8, with 242 passengers and crew on board, crashed moments after taking off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad on the afternoon of June 12.

Delhi: Situation getting worse for interfaith couples, says woman in safe house
On July 22, a 25-year old woman ran away from her home in Prayagraj with a bag containing only her degrees, important documents, and a pair of clothes. She was on her way to Delhi to meet her partner, a 26-year-old man belonging to a different religion, after her family – opposed to their relationship – attempted to get her marriage fixed in April. A day after she arrived in Delhi, the couple approached the office of the DCP (Southeast) seeking police protection, only to be separated by the police on July 24. While the police made the woman undergo a medical examination and shifted her to a shelter home, the man moved HC. The court, coming to the rescue of the couple on July 25, ordered DCP (Southeast) to provide them police protection and shift them to a government safe house. The woman, who has been staying at the safe house with her partner since July 26, now awaits the completion of a 30-day notice period to get married – the couple had submitted a notice of intended marriage under the Special Marriage Act on August 4. 'We have been wanting to get married since 2019. We kept thinking that the situation would get better for interfaith couples, but it keeps getting worse… I am anticipating my parents may come to the wedding and voice their opposition, but I am prepared,' said the woman, who had met her partner at a coaching centre in 2018. 'While he told his family last December about our relationship, I could not because I always knew it's a strict no-no. My aunt, in 2019, had found me chatting with him, called the women's helpline, and forced me to tell the police that I was being harassed. I was very scared then and had relented,' she added. The woman, a BEd graduate, said while her family has mostly seen arranged marriages, her mother's brother was the first to rebel by marrying outside their caste. 'The family did not speak to him for a few years, but it's different for men. The family eventually came around, and established relations with him. It is not the same for me.' 'My parents always wanted me to remain in Prayagraj and follow the family's norms and traditions, including them deciding who I will marry. I was made to feel that it is a favour they're extending by educating me…,' said the woman, who is looking for a job. Her partner works at a Delhi-based private company. Her disappointment with the Delhi Police's conduct is apparent. 'When we approached the DCP office seeking protection, they said there is no such thing as a safe house… The DCP, too, told us that there is no such concept of a safe house. Then they said I had to undergo a medical test. We thought it was perhaps an order from senior officers, and I gave my consent. We were then separated. I was taken to a women's shelter home against my will… they took away my phone, neither allowed me to meet or contact my partner. It was only after the court intervened that we were taken to a safe house,' she said.
