Last week, as Airlift starring Akshay Kumar released on the big screen, some of those engaged in the rescue operations reminisced about the Amman evacuation.
Jignasa Hotha was a flight attendant with Air India for 16 years; in 1990 she had just completed two years, and remembers:
“My parents were worried about my safety since they thought Kuwait would be dangerous, but I didn’t want to miss this opportunity. I insisted that I would not report in sick, and decided to be on the flights that brought back our people from Kuwait.”
Mr Jitender Bhargava, author of the book The Descent of Air India, was the Head of Corporate Communications at Air India in 1990.
