NEW DELHI: An Air India Delhi-Amritsar flight briefly entered Pakistan airspace while holding to land Monday, prompting authorities to ground the operating crew and an Amritsar air traffic controller for allegedly failing to report the incident. The aircraft exited Pakistani airspace within 15 seconds after coordinating with Lahore ATC and later returned to Delhi before flying to Amritsar.

Air India said the crew operating flight AI479 had "marginally infringed" into Pakistan airspace during the manoeuvre. | India News
