An Air India pilot has been tested positive of the Corona virus and this pilot was supposedly flying a plane when the news broke out. This is one of the bizarre incidents.
 

Going to details, under the Vande Bharat Mission to bring back stranded Indians, Air India had sent a plane to Moscow. But the pilot who flying it was tested positive of Covid-19 and immediately, the authorities have informed the plane to return to Delhi.

In a relief, the authorities avoided a huge damage as the plane had just six members and that too one was a co-pilot and the rest are cabin crew.

The aircraft landed back in Delhi around 12:45 pm and was sanitised as per protocol. Also the infected pilot and the rest of the crew were sent to quarantine.

Though Air India did not make any official statement regarding this, a source added that it was a human error.
