एयर इंडिया की फ्लाइट- बोइंग 777 AI-101 में सवार क्रू समेत 370 लोगों को यह तारीख हमेशा याद रहेगी. नई दिल्ली से न्यूयॉर्क जा रही इस फ्लाइट के पायलटों ने सैकड़ों लोगों को लगभग मौत के मुंह से निकाला.

यह घटना 11 सितंबर 2008 की है जब इंडिया की AI-101 फ्लाइट नई दिल्ली के इंधिरा गांधी एयरपोर्ट से न्यूयॉर्क के जॉन एफ कैनेडी इंटरनेशनल एयरपोर्ट के लिए उड़ान भरी थी.

इसके रास्ते में पाकिस्तान, रशिया, फिनलैंड, ग्रीनलैंड और कनाडा जैसे देश आने वाले थे. जो कि दिल्ली से कुल मिलाकर 15 घंटों में 12000 किलोमीटर का लंबा सफर तय करने वाली थी.

इस फ्लाइट में टूरिस्ट से लेकर स्टूडेंट्स तक 370 पैसेंजर्स सवार थे. अब वैसे तो एक फ्लाइट उड़ाने के लिए 2 पायलट्स की जरूरत होती है लेकिन लंबे सफर की वजह से दो सपोर्टिंग पायलेट्स को भी साथ लिया गया था.
