Mangaluru, Jan 18: The authorities have suspended a woman pilot pending enquiry after she was found to be an inebriated state just before the scheduled take off of a Dubai-bound SpiceJet flight at Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday.

According to sources, the 35-year-old Turkish woman, who was supposed to fly the aircraft found to be reeking of alcohol and was made to undergo breathalyzer tests, following which she was not allowed to board the plane.

Due to the incident, nearly 180 passengers off the flight had to spend the whole night  at Airport in anxiety.

The flight was supposed to take off at 12.40 a.m. on Wednesday. All the passengers had already completed check-in formalities. However, the regular medical examination of the crew revealed that the woman pilot had no control over herself thanks to excessive consumption of alcohol.

A senior official said that as part of the airline’s duty to protect the lives of passengers, it took the preventive measure of not allowing the pilot to command the flight.

The passengers had to wait till 6 a.m. when the airline managed to arrange another pilot.

SpiceJet has been operating flights between Mangaluru and Dubai for past one year. The plane has been leased from Turkey based Corendon Airlines. Hence, all the crew members are said to be Turkish nationals.

New Delhi, Apr 4: The Supreme Court on Friday urged Karnataka and Kerala to amicably resolve their issues concerning a border blockade that has choked the free flow of vehicles carrying essential items and patients in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Karnataka, which imposed the blockade, justified that its border was sealed to “combat the spread of the pandemic by preventing the movement of people from the bordering districts of Kerala to Karnataka”.

The State had moved the Supreme Court, challenging a Kerala High Court order on April 1 to open the border. Kerala has countered that patients from the State cannot be denied access to health care. Besides, the blockade has severely affected the supply of essential items, from medicines to food, to Kerala.

On Friday, a Supreme Court Bench of Justices L. Nageswara Rao and Deepak Gupta urged the States to not confront each other in the midst of an unprecedented public health crisis. Instead, it asked the Chief Secretaries of both States to sit with the Union Health Secretary and iron out a solution. Meanwhile, the apex court urged Kerala not to take any precipitative action based on the High Court order.

The court issued notice to Kerala on the appeal filed by Karnataka, represented by advocate Shubhranshu Padhi. It listed the case for further hearing on April 7.

Karnataka, in its appeal against the High Court order, said the blockade was put in place in the interest of public health. The situation regarding Coronavirus was “really dire”, it said. It warned that opening the blockade would cause a law and order issue as its local population wanted the border to remain sealed.

Karnataka argued that Kerala was the “worst-affected” State in the country with nearly 194 coronavirus cases. In this, Kasaragod, adjoining Karnataka, was the “worst affected” district of Kerala with over a 100 positive cases.

MP’s plea

The court also separately considered a writ petition by Kasaragod MP Rajmohan Unnithan for an order to forthwith open the State border.

The parliamentarian, represented by advocates Haris Beeran and Pallavi Pratap, urged the court to issue an ex-parte stay on the operation of the blockade imposed by Karnataka with its border States.

Mr. Unnithan said Karnataka’s blockade was “ill-planned and dangerous” and had led to loss of lives. Two patients from Kerala, in need of urgent medical care, died after their ambulances were denied entry at the border by the Karnataka authorities.
