TEHRAN (AFP) – A worried Iranian airline pilot asked passengers to start praying after his plane was hit by a technical glitch early on Thursday, highlighting once again the notorious record of Tehran's aircraft.
The Aseman Airlines Boeing plane had taken off from Tehran airport after a six-hour delay, but had to return following a technical fault, the ISNA news agency quoted a passenger as recounting.
"The plane took off at 0015 in the morning and had to land back in Tehran after 45 minutes," the passenger said.
"The pilot told the passengers 'the plane is facing a technical problem and has to return. So please pray.'"
