A 13 -year -old boy from Afghanistan made a shocking feat on Sunday (September 21, 2022). The Afghan boy hid in India from Kabul to New Delhi in the landing gear of Uri Kam Air. When the security personnel came to know about this on Sunday (September 21) at New Delhi Airport, there was a stir everywhere.

This incident of Afghan boy reminds about the incident that happened to two brothers of Punjab three decades ago, which completely changed his life.

Younger brother died from a height of 2,000 feet

According to a 2003 report by the Times of India, in 1996, 23 -year -old Pradeep Saini, a two -year -old from Punjab, and his younger brother 19 -year -old Vijay Saini, tried to reach London from Delhi in the landing gear of a British Airways aircraft.

Pradeep Saini escaped during an illegal to reach London illegally during a 10 -hour flight, but his 19 -year -old brother Vijay Saini died due to hypothermia. When the British Airways aircraft reached West London, Vijay fell below a height of 2,000 feet.

Tempratures get 60 degrees at 40,000 feet

According to the report, the 10 -hour journey broke all the immunity of the human body as the temperature had dropped to -60 degrees Celsius during this period and the oxygen level fell rapidly at a height of 40 thousand feet.

Now Pradeep is working at British airport

Recalling that incident, Pradeep Saini had said that after losing his brother, he had gone into depression for six years. After this he settled in Britain and now he is working at Heathro Airport in London.

Boeing 787-8 Dreamlineer: The British Airways’s Boeing Dreamliner aircraft going to Chennai faced a technical fault during the flight on Sunday, due to which it had to return to Heathro Airport in London by the middle way. The airline issued a statement saying that the aircraft landed safely and all passengers and crew members normally left the aircraft.

Aircraft returned as a precautionary measure
British Airways said that after receiving information about the technical problem, the aircraft was brought back under standard precautionary measures. However, the airline did not inform how many passengers and crew members were in the aircraft, how long the aircraft stayed in the air, or what was the right time to leave.

According to the flight tracking website flightradar24.com, the British Airways flight Ba35, which was operating from the Boeing 787-8 aircraft, left London at 12:40 pm local time and was to reach Chennai at 3:30 am. The aircraft remained in the air for about two hours, after which he returned to London.

A few days after the Ahmedabad accident
This incident has come to light at a time when a Boeing Dreamliner aircraft of Air India crashed in Ahmedabad recently. Investigations are also under investigation on the technical aspects of the aircraft in that incident. In such a situation, the return of British Airways flight is once again raising questions about aircraft safety.

Lufthansa’s flight also had to return
Meanwhile, the flight of Lufthansa, coming from Frankfurt in Germany from Frankfurt, also had to be sent back from the middle route. The Air Traffic Control (ATC) of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport received a message that the aircraft is returning to its original place to Frankfurt. According to the flight -ware website, the aircraft was Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which left Frankfurt at 2:15 pm on Sunday and had to reach Hyderabad at 1:20 pm on Monday night. A Hyderabad Airport official said that the decision was taken due to security reasons. According to the official, when the aircraft could not enter the Indian aircraft, then the bomb threat was reported. In terms of security, it was considered right to return the aircraft to Frankfurt.

Pakistani airspace: There is an atmosphere of tension between India and Pakistan after the terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Meanwhile, many big international airlines like Lufthansa and Air France have now started using other routes avoiding Pakistani aircraft. This has been revealed in the flight tracking data revealed on Monday.

Action taken after Pahalgam attack

After the Pahalgam attack, India shut down its aircraft for Pakistan’s airlines companies and Pakistan also retaliated on it for aircraft of Indian airlines companies, but did not ban other international airlines.

Here, the Lufthansa Group has confirmed the news agency Reuters that it will not use Pakistani airspace indefinitely due to more time for Asian countries.

Pakistan’s overflight revenue deficit to Pakistan

The data of Flightradar24 shows that due to the new route, Lufthansa’s Frankfurt-to-Delhi flight (LH760) took an additional time to travel for one hour. This will not only take longer to travel, but will also have more fuel consumption, which will directly affect the airlines companies. This change will also harm Pakistan’s overflight revenue.

Pakistani airspace being bypassed

In addition, the flight tracking system showed that British Airways, Swiss International Air Lines and Emirates flights are changing their way through Delhi. After crossing the Arabian Sea, they are escaping from Pakistani aircraft and most of them are choosing the northern route to travel.

British Airways and Emirates have not yet publicly commented on the matter. However, Air France has officially announced the cancellation of its flights from Pakistani aircraft, citing rising regional instability.
