Close shave for Rahul Gandhi at IGI airport

New Delhi, Dec 12 (ANI): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had a narrow escape at Indira Gandhi International airport while returning from Rae Bareli in his private jet. Another aircraft was still on the runway on which his private business jet was to land. However, luckily just when Rahul's Cessna Citation was about to land, the airport traffic control alerted Rahul's pilot to abort the landing. Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has now ordered a probe into the incident. According to sources it was a very close shave. Dec 12, 2013
