कोच्चि-अबुधाबी प्लेन का फ्यूल 36 हजार फीट पर कम हुआ:50 मिनट बाद मोड़ना पड़ा, कोच्चि में इमरजेंसी लैंडिंग; वजन भी ज्यादा था

SUMMARY
**कोच्चि से अबुधाबी जा रही एक फ्लाइट को उड़ान भरने के करीब 50 मिनट बाद इमरजेंसी लैंडिंग करनी पड़ी। विमान जब 36 हजार फीट की ऊंचाई पर था, तभी पायलटों ने देखा कि फ्यूल तेजी से कम हो रहा है। इसके अलावा विमान का वजन भी सामान्य से अधिक था, जिससे ईंधन की खपत बढ़ गई। सुरक्षा को ध्यान में रखते हुए पायलट ने तुरंत विमान वापस मोड़ने का फैसला लिया और कोच्चि एयरपोर्ट पर इमरजेंसी लैंडिंग कराई गई। सभी यात्री सुरक्षित हैं। जांच शुरू कर दी गई है।**
