Locked in the cockpit, pilot lands under emergency conditions


The pilot of a Bangalore-bound Air India aircraft, with around 125 passengers on board, landed under emergency conditions at Bhopal airport when he found the cockpit door jammed as he tried to open it to visit the washroom, airline sources said today.
The pilot of Airbus A-320, operating flight AI-403 from Delhi, made the landing yesterday evening under emergency conditions at Raja Bhoj Airport in Bhopal.
