Jagran correspondent, Darbhanga. A flight that reached Darbhanga carrying passengers from Mumbai and Delhi left everyone breathless when instead of landing on time, the plane kept circling in the sky for about an hour. The sudden change in circumstances created an atmosphere of panic among the passengers on board the flight.
Fear was clearly visible on the faces of many passengers after seeing the plane hovering in the sky again and again. Eventually a safe landing took place, but by then this one hour had turned into the longest moments of life for the passengers.
There were already two flights standing in the airport apron
