Incident at Lucknow Airport Averted
On Sunday, June 15, a significant accident was narrowly avoided at Lucknow Airport. A flight arriving from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was landing when a potential mishap was averted. The aircraft in question was Saudi Arabian Airlines flight SV 3112, which touched down at Lucknow Airport on that day.
As the plane landed, sparks and smoke began to emanate from its wheels. Approximately 250 Hajj pilgrims were on board this flight, which arrived at 6:30 AM. Upon landing, sparks were observed coming from the aircraft's wheels. Airport personnel quickly responded to the situation, taking immediate action to evacuate the passengers safely in light of the emergency.
Upon learning about the incident, passengers were understandably alarmed. To manage the situation, the aircraft was pushed back and moved to the taxiway, where passengers were safely disembarked. This incident brought a sense of relief, especially in light of the recent tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad.
It is noteworthy that on Thursday, June 12, 2025, an Air India flight bound for London’s Gatwick Airport was involved in a severe accident shortly after takeoff, crashing into a medical college campus in Ahmedabad. According to Air India, there were 242 individuals on board, with only one survivor, who was hospitalized in critical condition. The crash resulted in over 270 fatalities, including several individuals on the ground, marking it as one of the most tragic events in Indian aviation history.
This incident has prompted government agencies to initiate an investigation, with preliminary reports suggesting technical failure as a possible cause. The nation is in deep shock and mourning over this tragedy, as the stories of the victims gradually come to light.
