Air India plane tried to contact doomed jet
Print Edition
AN Air India plane flying close to Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 tried to make contact with it before it was downed.
Ukrainian air traffic controllers asked the pilots to establish contact with the Malaysia Airlines jet, which had stopped responding to its calls, the Times of India reported yesterday.
But the Air India plane, which was flying from Delhi to Birmingham, England, received no response.
“The Dreamliner was less than 25km from the Malaysian aircraft when the latter was hit by a missile,” an unidentified airline source was quoted as saying.
“When the pilots learned of the cause of the crash later, they were stunned.”
