Aircraft faced minor technical issue after landing in Jamshedpur: IndiaOne Air

Agency: PTI Last Updated: Jamshedpur, Jul 22 (PTI) Ahmedabad-based regional airline IndiaOne Air on Tuesday said that one of its flights faced 'a minor technical issue", following landing at Sonari Aerodrome here on July 20. On Sunday, flight IOA 206, operated by a Cessna 208B aircraft, flying on the Kolkata–Jamshedpur sector, landed safely at Jamshedpur Airport at 4.09 pm, the company said in a statement. All seven passengers on board were safely deplaned without any injury or distress, it said. Following landing, the captain observed a minor technical issue, and as a precautionary measure, decided to shut down the aircraft at the southern edge of the paved turnpad near Runway 26, adhering to all standard safety procedures, the statement said. The aircraft has since been inspected, found fully serviceable, and is currently operating scheduled flights as normal, it added.

India's 'guest' departs: Stranded British F-35 jet flies out of Kerala

A British F-35B fighter jet has departed from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in Kerala after being stranded for approximately 38 days. The fifth-generation stealth jet, operating from the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, made an emergency landing on June 14th due to bad weather and a subsequent hydraulic failure. British engineers, with the support of an Indian technician team and the Indian Air Force, worked to repair the aircraft. The British High Commission extended its thanks to India for the support from the Indian Air Force and airport officials. The prolonged stay of the advanced fighter jet generated significant public curiosity and became the subject of social media memes, with the hospitality shown being likened to India's principle of "Atiti Devo Bhava," meaning 'the guest is God'.
