Don’t panic, they are the wanton boys of our beloved Ambanis playing with their madam’s toy.

 

       

                    The private Airbus corporate Jet Mukesh Ambani gifted to his beloved wife Nita on her birthday seven years ago created a major scare at Mumbai airport on 10th November. The aircraft repeatedly emitted “May Day Signal” (SOS signal emitted by an aircraft in distress) to Mumbai air traffic control (ATC) tower.There was obvious panic in the ATC tower after the first signal came just after 8.30 pm, with controllers frantically contacting their Karachi, Muscat and Delhi counterparts to find out what was happening.

                 The aircraft call sign and registration number that accompanied the May Day Signal revealed that the aircraft was Ambani’s personal business jet. The panic mounted when the second May Day came 6 minutes later. This signal indicates that the aircraft is in an emergency situation beyond control of pilots and that whoever is nearby should rush for help.

                Karachi and Muscat told Mumbai that they were neither in contact with any such flight number, nor had any aircraft reported an engine fire or loss of control of pilots. The ATC used the signal’s direction finder, located the aircraft safely parked in a hangar and not going anywhere. Two pilots were in the cockpit.

                The pilots have told the airport authorities that they inadvertently switched on the emergency May Day key, which they are not supposed to do. Based on the pilot’s testimony the ATC has submitted its report to the DGCA. Now it is up to them to take further action.

                No action was taken so far. Don’t expect the Government to take any action. It is the aircraft of our darling  Ambanis who shelled out money for the present dispensation to come to power at the Centre and who fill the coffers our Netas.
