Karnataka,June 1 : A Surya Kiran trainer aircraft of the Indian Air Force crashed on Thursday near Bogapura village in Chamrajnagar district in Karnataka. The incident happened during a routine training sortie.

The two pilots, including one lady pilot, escaped and ejected themselves from flight before the crash.

A Court of Inquiry has been ordered to ascertain the cause of the accident.

Last month, three people died after a MiG-21 fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed in Rajasthan’s Hanumangarh.

The fighter jet was doing a routine training sortie when it crashed. The pilot escaped unhurt and suffered minor injuries. An inquiry was launched to probe the cause of the crash.

Two weeks after the crash, the Indian Air Force decided to ground the aging fleet of Soviet-origin aircraft which have been involved in over 400 accidents since their induction.

The entire fleet of MiG-21 fighter aircraft had been grounded as the investigations into the May 8 crash are still on and the reason behind the crash is being probed.
