Sushma Swaraj's plane en route to Mauritius was untracebable for 14 minutes

In a major scare on Saturday evening, the VVIP aircraft “Meghdoot” flying external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj from Trivandrum to Mauritius, on her way to South Africa, went incommunicado for 12-14 minutes. The scare happened when Mauritian air traffic control and the crew of the Embraer 135 Legacy flying Swaraj — which was cruising safely — could not establish contact with each other for some time after the plane entered the island nation’s airspace.
