PASSENGERS and crew of Air Sahara Flight SA-308 and Kanchi seer Jayendra Saraswati and his entourage had a miraculous escape today when a major collision was averted on the ground at the Chennai airport.
The aircraft that had just landed was about to run into a convoy of two vehicles, carrying the Kanchi seer, when the pilot noticed them and brought the plane to a halt. The incident occurred at 2.52 pm. According to sources, the seer was headed for a private aircraft, on his way to Coimbatore, and his convoy hadn’t got the required permission from Air Traffic Control (ATC) to proceed on to the runway.
