A London-bound Air India aircraft from Ahmedabad on Friday had to be escorted by fighter jets after it lost contact with the Air Traffic Control while flying over Hungary.
The plane, with 231 passengers and 18 crew members on board, lost contact with the ATC due to “frequency fluctuation”, an Air India spokesperson said.
