25-Member UK Team To Assess Grounded F-35 Jet In Kerala Tomorrow

Over three weeks after the British fighter jet, F-35B, was grounded in India due to technical issues, a team of aviation engineers from Britain arrived at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, where the aircraft had failed to take off for 21 days.

The team will attempt to repair the America-made fifth-generation fighter jet, which made an emergency landing at Kerala Airport on June 14 and has developed engineering issues since.

The engineers were earlier scheduled to arrive in Kerala on July 2; however, the visit was postponed for unknown reasons, news agency PTI earlier reported, citing sources.
