Air scare for AP CM, anxious moments for state

September 15, 2011 13:43

Poor weather forced a Kingfisher Airlines aircraft with AP Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on board to hover for over 45 minutes this morning before it landed safely at Madhurapudi airport in Rajahmundry, giving some anxious moments to the state administration.

The Air Traffic Control at Madhurapudi airport did not give ground clearance for the aircraft from Hyderabad to land at the scheduled time 10.30 am as there was "no clear visibility".

It may be remembered that former AP CM YSR Reddy was killed in a chopper crash in 2009.
