Press Trust of India news reports reaching here say that in one of the worst air disasters in the UAE in recent times, 12 Indians were among the 43 peopel on board an Iranian plane killed when it clashed and burst into flames just before landing at the Sharjah airport. Apparently the Dutch-built Fokker 40 of Kish Air had taken off from the Iranian island of Kish.
Kish is said to be a favourite destination for foreigners because of the cheap and short flights, which carry passengers with a visit visa out of the country and bring them back to fulfil a mandatory residence-visa requirement. Any idea if any Goans were on the flight? Would appreciate details...
