A British fighter jet that made an emergency landing at the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in Kerala almost a week ago continues to be parked there, as of Friday.

- SATARUPA BHATTACHARJYA

The fifth-generation stealth F-35 Lightning II, part of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy, was based on the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales before it encountered bad weather or a technical issue during a sortie on June 14. The fighter jet failed to land on the deck of the warship and diverted towards Kerala with help from the Indian Air Force (IAF).

While the peacetime stranding of a foreign fighter jet is rare in India, the F-35 — a military asset of a foreign country with which India has strategic relations — was being guarded by the Central Industrial Security Force, the agency responsible for security at Indian airports.
