Language problem may be behind Mangalore air crash: Sharad Yadav

'Language problem is found to be the biggest problem in conversations the pilots have with ATC (Air Traffic Control). It might have led to the crash in Mangalore,' the JD(U) president said.

JD(U) president and former civil aviation minister Sharad Yadav today said that the barrier of language might have led to the Managalore air crash in which 158 persons onboard were killed.

"Language problem is found to be the biggest problem in conversations the pilots have with ATC (Air Traffic Control). It might have led to the crash in Mangalore," Yadav said while offering his condolences to those who lost their lives in the crash.

Yadav, however, said the inquiry by the DGCA would unravel the cause leading to the tragedy.

He voiced his opposition to appointments of foreign pilots in the civil aviation sector.

"It is unfortunate that though there is no dearth of domestic hands to operate aircrafts, foreign pilots are being preferred," Yadav added.
