Air India Pilot Himanil Kumar dies during training in Delhi
A tragic incident unfolded on Thursday morning at Delhi airport, where Air India pilot Himanil Kumar, in his 30s, succumbed to a sudden cardiac arrest during a routine training session at Terminal 3. Despite prompt efforts to revive him at the airport hospital, Kumar couldn't be saved.
Officials expressed their condolences and revealed that Kumar, who hailed from a family with aviation ties (his father being a senior commander at the airline), began displaying signs of discomfort during the training. Despite being declared fit in his medical assessments just a few months ago, in August, Kumar's sudden demise shocked colleagues and authorities.
The airline is providing support to the grieving family during this difficult time. An unnamed official emphasized that Kumar's previous medical assessments had shown no underlying health issues, making his sudden cardiac arrest all the more unexpected and tragic.
