Jeddah-Hong Kong cargo flight makes emergency landing at Kolkata airport as windshield cracks
Mangalore Today News Network
Kolkata, April 15, 2023: A Saudi Arabian Airlines cargo flight from Jeddah to Hong Kong made an emergency landing at the Kolkata airport on Saturday after its windshield developed cracks. The aircraft had four crew on board when a crack in the windshield forced the pilot to make an emergency landing.
A full emergency was declared at around 11:37 am on Saturday for the cargo flight after a crack in its windshield was found. The Kolkata airport was readied for the flight’s landing and the Hong Kong-bound flight safely landed at around 12:02 pm.
After the flight landed safely at the airport, the full emergency was withdrawn.
A full emergency is declared when an aircraft is approaching an airport with the danger of an accident taking place.
This comes just days after a full emergency was declared in Delhi airport after a Dubai-bound FedEx aircraft suffered a bird hit soon after take-off. The aircraft landed safely and resumed its journey after inspection.
Airport authorities said the bird strike took place at a height of 1,000 feet.
