'We're proud of you,' says Pakistan ATC to Air India for operating special flights

[N.Siddiqui]

While the former is an imagination the least and an extrapolation at best, the later is right in front of you.

This blind hate for Pakistan, or hatred that blinds is all over the 800 plus/minus channels of Bharat, Godi or not, controlled by the extremists and not just BJP...and all over the Twitter.

This is a no-brainer now, this hateful ideology against Pakistan, now against Indian Muslims.

You have initiated wars against us and have done numerous terrorist attacks in India. Obviously, the first feeling wont be of warmth. Change your ways and you will see the change. It will be slow but sure.

Nothing wrong with praising anyone's good deeds, even India's.

Why not focus at home to curb the hate between own countrymen???

Here comes the justification...

India needed all that fear and hatred...doesn't it. Needed all this hatred to divide and polarize the nation, without which there was no chance for extremist RSS/VHP/Bajrang Dal...to be in the center, and with a political face of BJP. Was all planned to perfection...


Quote from @masterchief_mirza, who is quoting a journalist.

"Moeed Pirzada, a prominent political commentator and columnist, recently noted that “Ram Rath Yatra, Mandal Commission, Ram Janma Bhomi movement, Attack on Babri Mosque, demolition of Babri Mosque, Bombay riots, nuclear explosions of 1997, Kargil Conflict, attack on Indian Parliament, mobilization against Pakistan, Gujarat Pogroms and Mumbai terrorism everything in one or the other was skillfully utilized in redefining Indian narrative and politics moving it ever closer to the realization of a Hindu Rashtra which now exists in reality though it still needs a legal and constitutional cover”."

Well thats upto the discourse between our own citizens. You guys have no role in it.

So now you have moved onto conspiracies. Sorry, I am not knowledgeable in that area.

They are the only carrier time and again leading from the front in any crisis. But seriously, they are inefficient and a burden to the taxpayers. In an ideal situation we shouldnt have to sell it off, but we need to now.

Yes I agree, the debts have gone out of control, but it is always painful to sell a family jewel. I think Indigo will take Air India's role now, they will in future be doing for GOI what Air India use to do without being government owned.This is a extra responsibility for becoming largest air carrier.

New Delhi:

National carrier Air India, which has operated numerous relief and evacuation flights worldwide amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, has received messages of praise from several countries. The latest nation to join that list is the one least expected - Pakistan.

The Air Traffic Control in the country not only welcomed Air India flights into its airspace but also appreciated the work the airline is doing in these uncertain times.

On April 2 Air India operated two flights from Mumbai to Frankfurt in Germany; these flights carried relief materials and European national stranded in India after the "total lockdown" announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 25.

"The flight took off from Mumbai at 1430 hours. We entered Pakistan airspace at 1700 hours. We tried to contact Air Traffic Control but did not get a response. So we changed frequencies and (then) managed to contact ATC," a senior Air India officer said.

The first words from Pakistan ATC surprised the pilots.

"As-salamu alaykum (Peace be upon you). This is Karachi Control welcoming Air India for relief flights," the Air India officer told NDTV, quoting the ATC.

"Confirm you are operating relief flights for Frankfurt," the ATC then asked, to which the Air India pilot replied: "Affirm".

According to Air India officials the Pakistan ATC also told the pilots they were proud of them for operating flights at such difficult times. "We are proud of you that in a pandemic situation you are operating flights, Good Luck!" the ATC said.

"Thank you so much," the captain of the flight responded.



The Air India official told NDTV that Pakistan ATC also saved the flight 15 minutes flying time by allowing them to fly closer to Karachi.

The Pakistan ATC's helpful stance didn't end there.

A short while later, when the Air India planes were entering Iran airspace but were unable to contact the authorities, Pakistan helped again.

"Here also Pakistan helped us and got in touch with Iran and gave our message to them. Normally in such flights we spend maximum number of hours in Iran airspace but Iran also gave us a shorter route," the Air India official told NDTV.

The Air India flights also received praise and welcome from Turkish and German Air Traffic Controllers.

"The flight was scheduled to reach Frankfurt at 0915 hours but it landed at 0835 hours," Air India said.

The national carrier is scheduled to operate 18 charter flights to repatriate German, French, Irish and Canadian nationals stuck in India, as requested by their respective embassies.

All flights, including ones bringing critical medical equipment from China, are being operated in adherence to safety protocols laid down by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

Air India is also scheduled to operate cargo flights between Delhi and Shanghai to bring in critical medical equipment for India; these flights will run till April 9.

The novel coronavirus pandemic has infected over a million people worldwide and led to nearly 50,000 deaths. In India the number of cases has crossed 3,000, with 75 deaths linked to the virus, the Health Ministry said today.

Nice gesture..let's hope this generosity continues in the future as well....however as long as pakistan continues its fight for kashmir through its proxies ,there can never be peace...the only solution is making LOC international border....but the problem is even if someone like Imran Khan agrees to such proposal the people in pakistan,who are religious to the core don't accept it....so,either india should become too powerful or pakistan too weak for this violence to end.

the only solution is making LOC international border

Kashmir will be taken; it's up to India that what's the price they are willing to pay for it. And by the looks of it, it's gonna cost you guys your country.

Do you have any neutral source? Why should we believe if this news is true? You have a history of making false claims and then we have to present Kulbhushan Jadav and Abhinonedone to the media to show the truth.

Likely to be FAKE NEWS as ndtv also claimed that the iaf killed exactly 350 terrorists in Balakot and shot down an F-16..........
