|
MUMBAI: Nearly 244 passengers had a miraculous escape when two aircraft came face to face on the taxi way at Chhatrapati Shivaji International
Airport late Thursday night, an airport official said.
A kingfisher airlines aircraft with 117 people on board was about to take off when an Air India Nagpur-Mumbai flight with 127 passengers landed and was speeding on the same runway.
However, since the distance between the two aircraft was considerable, both managed to stop and a potential disaster was averted.
No further details of the incident were immediately available.

I don't think a journalism degree is needed for a job as an aviation journalist/expert at any of the major news channels. Some of those folks don't look bright enough to have studied much beyond kindergarten

I tried long back with a not so popular newspaper.. They needed 2 yrs exprience in journalism or a degree/diploma/jack$hit in Journalism 
Basically they are not interested in taking people from the industry to write abt it.. |

All they need to do is get someone with some basics of aviation & pay the person well....No need of any degree.

Or maybe there was a technical snag in one of the Equipment Landing Systems on board as per a celebrity on board one of the Airbus 780s involved in the near miss who had an unbelievable escape! |
