  1. Truly sad, in today’s day and age an aircraft can go missing without a trace is incomprehensible…..my thoughts and prayers to the family.

  2. Devesh Sir,
    Your note at the top of the snapshot should say ‘deviating right of the airway between way-points RAFIS and TAVIP’ not ‘left of the airway between way-points TAVIP and RAFIS’

    • Sunil ji, the description is correct. The aircraft is left of the airway and tracking on a path that will take it to the right of the airway, but it has not yet crossed the airway so it remains left of flight path track at the time of the image.
