Lightning fell on the Indian aircraft in the sky, the pilot issued an alert, and there was a Pakistani airport nearby.

Islamabad: An air traffic controller of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority saved the plane from crashing after getting an emergency message from the pilot of an Indian aircraft. The pilot of the aircraft from Jaipur to Oman's capital Muscat issued this message due to bad weather.

Sources associated with the aviation authority said that the aircraft suffered from unusual seasonal conditions in southern Sindh province.

According to news from The News International, there were 150 passengers in the aircraft. The aircraft was flying over the Karachi region on Thursday (November 14), when the plane fell into the grip of celestial lightning, and at the same time, it fell from a height of 36,000 feet to 34,000 feet.

As a result, the pilot issued an emergency protocol and reported "danger" to nearby stations.

Pakistan's air traffic controller immediately responded to the pilot's warning and guided the aircraft through dense air traffic in the Pakistani airspace for the rest of the journey in the vicinity.

This year, Pakistan opened its airspace to India on July 16 after a ban of about five months because of the deadlock with India.

After the Balakot air action, Pakistan closed its airspace on February 26.

Last month, Pakistan refused to use its airfield for VVIP aircraft in view of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Saudi Arabia over the Kashmir issue.

Pakistan had curtailed diplomatic relations with it on August 5 after India's decision to remove the special status of J&K and divide it into two union territories.
