Mumbai: An Air India flight had to wait in the air for 20 minutes before landing as an object was seen flying over the runway on Thursday. Managing director of Mumbai airport and vice-chairman of GVK group, G.V. Sanjay Reddy was in the aircraft. Police officials have been on their toes to prevent kites from flying around the Mumbai airport area and in the path of flights.
According to the sources from the Mumbai Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower, this year kite-flying was not a big challenge to flight operations due to regular patrolling by the police and circulars from them.
Earlier in 2014 and 2015, flight operations were effected on the day of Makar Sankranti, a festival when kites are flown as part of the celebrations. This year, personnel from six police stations in the areas around the Mumbai airport were deployed around the boundaries to stop people from flying kites near the flight and landing paths.

Tanvi’s grandfather, Jawahar Lal Raina, owned famous transport company, Bharat Transport. “But I never took interest in carrying on the family business or pursuing higher education,” says Kapil. “I had a passion for flying and wanted my daughter to carry on my legacy and am happy that she did.”
“The Aviation sector has not remained the domain of males now. Even many girls are working as pilots with different airlines companies. If Kashmiri girls can become doctors and engineers, why not pilots?” asks Kapil. “I feel proud of my daughter’s success,” said Tanvi’s mother, Jyoti Raina.
