Bengaluru, India: A Fly91 passenger flight operating from Hyderabad to Hubballi was diverted to Bengaluru on Sunday evening after adverse weather conditions over north Karnataka made landing at Hubballi airport unsafe. The aircraft, which had departed Hyderabad in the afternoon, was unable to complete its approach due to poor visibility and intense weather activity in the region, leading to an extended holding pattern for 3 hrs before the crew decided to divert as a precautionary measure resulting in an operational delay of around 2.5 to 3 hours. According to airline confirmation, the flight was scheduled to land in Hubballi around 4:30 pm but encountered deteriorating weather conditions during descent. The aircraft reportedly circled the Hubballi airspace for an extended period as pilots assessed landing feasibility. When conditions failed to improve, the crew diverted the flight to Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport, where it landed safely. Passengers onboard experienced significant anxiety during the prolonged airborne phase, with reports and visual accounts suggesting distress inside the cabin as the aircraft continued holding over the region. Some passengers reportedly expressed concern over the extended circling, while cabin crew maintained communication and reassured passengers throughout the flight. Despite the tense situation, no medical emergencies or injuries were reported. All 22 passengers were reported safe. Fly91, in its official statement, categorically denied any technical malfunction and clarified that the diversion was carried out strictly due to weather-related safety concerns. The airline stated that the decision to hold and subsequently divert the aircraft was in line with standard operating procedures and aviation safety norms. It emphasized that the aircraft was fully serviceable and that the crew followed all regulatory guidelines issued for operations under adverse weather conditions. After diverting to Bengaluru, the aircraft landed safely and was later repositioned once weather conditions over Hubballi improved. The flight subsequently continued operations, ensuring passengers reached their destination. Officials reiterated that the safety of passengers remained the highest priority throughout the incident and that all procedures followed were in accordance with aviation safety protocols.

Jakarta, Indonesia: Indonesian authorities confirmed on Friday that all 10 victims from the fatal crash of an Indonesia Air Transport (IAT) ATR 42-500 turboprop aircraft have been recovered, concluding a seven-day search and rescue operation on the steep slopes of Mount Bulusaraung in South Sulawesi. The aircraft, registered PK-THT, disappeared from radar on January 17 while on a maritime surveillance mission for the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. It was en route from Adisutjipto Airport, Yogyakarta, to Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Makassar when contact was lost during its final approach. Rescue teams, comprising personnel from the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), military, police, and volunteers, faced rugged terrain, steep ravines, dense fog, and volatile weather throughout the operation. Bodies were found in scattered locations on the mountainside and transported to forensic specialists in Makassar for Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) procedures. By Friday morning, the 10th and final victim had been located, marking the official end of the recovery phase. Authorities expressed condolences to the families of the victims and reiterated support for identification and repatriation processes. A key breakthrough in the investigation came with the recovery of the aircraft’s cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) from the wreckage. A joint SAR team located both units intact in the tail section of the aircraft on January 21, despite adverse weather delaying initial access. Following extraction from the crash site, the devices were secured and transported to a checkpoint in Tompobulu village, before being handed over to the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT), Indonesia’s official air accident investigation authority. Basarnas Chief Air Marshal Mohammad Syafii confirmed that the recorders will be analyzed to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the crash. Earlier in the response, the KNKT classified the crash as a Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) incident, indicating the aircraft was under control when it impacted the mountain slope although classification does not imply pilot intent or assign fault. The investigation team has not yet publicly disclosed a definitive cause, citing the ongoing analysis of flight recorder data and other evidence. The ATR 42-500 turboprop was conducting a routine surveillance mission in support of fisheries and maritime resource monitoring when it vanished. Initial reports indicated 10 people on board, including seven crew members and three passengers from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. The mountainous crash zone spans portions of Maros and Pangkajene and Islands regencies, complicating early rescue efforts and driving a multi-agency coordinated response.
