A Mumbai-bound flight sent a hijack alert shortly after takeoff, sparking a full emergency response. All the emergency procedures were followed but it turned out to be a ‘false alarm’. Investigation on. HT exclusive: hindustantimes.com/india-new…

#AI2030 false hijack incident is not the first case, this happened earlier as well and was reported by @htTweets Mid-air ‘hijack’ alert activates security protocol in Air India flight hindustantimes.com/india-new… – at Delhi, India
Apparently AI-2030 FRA/Del has taken off from Jaipur after aircraft and Pilot and crew were checked and cleared. It is a mystery how the ATC heard the Squawk of 7500, when apparently the Pilot never squawked it ? I guess the Flydubai incident has made Indian aviation more particular than ever before. PIC was instructed by Bom & Del ATC to divert to JAI and he did. Looks like a matter for the @DGCAIndia to look into now. I’m glad all pax & crew of @airindia are safe. @MoCA_GoI @AirIndia_News @AdityaRajKaul @ShivAroor @RShivshankar @Ashoke_Raj @samirsinha69 @27saurabhsinha @jagritichandra @fl360aero @TIAG747 @AviationNews_UK

Captain Smit Machchhar is a HERO. In the face of the gravest danger and despite being seriously injured, he showed immense courage and an unwavering resolve to protect the lives of others. His valour helped save hundreds of lives and avert a great tragedy. India is proud of Captain Machchhar. Praying for his speedy recovery, renewed strength and good health.

Our Embassy in Riyadh and Consulate in Jeddah have been following the health condition of Mr Smit Machchhar, the brave Indian pilot of Flydubai flight that was diverted to Tabuk today. He is admitted in a hospital in Tabuk city in northwest Saudi Arabia and receiving necessary medical attention. A full update on his health is awaited but he is reported to be in stable condition. We hope that he recovers from his injuries at the earliest. We are in touch with his family and assure them that we will continue to follow up on his health with Saudi authorities and extend all possible assistance for his wellbeing. @MEAIndia

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery. Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster. He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals. I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery. He is a true hero.
