A trainee aircraft stalled over Kishangarh Airport for about three and a half hours after a technical problem forced it to remain airborne, prompting an emergency alert.
A training flight on Thursday encountered a serious technical malfunction while operating from Kishangarh Airport in Rajasthan. The trainee aircraft experienced a suspected issue with its landing gear or tire, which prevented a safe landing.
Unable to descend, the aircraft remained in the air for roughly three and a half hours, circling the airport while ground controllers monitored the situation closely. Emergency services were placed on high alert as the aircraft continued its prolonged flight pattern.
Air traffic controllers coordinated with the flight crew to manage fuel consumption and maintain safe separation from other traffic. After extensive coordination, the aircraft was guided back to Kishangarh and landed under emergency procedures, averting any injury or damage.
