Aircraft Detained Due To Trafficking Concerns In France Finally Touches Down In India

After several days of detainment in France over trafficking suspicions, an aircraft has safely landed in India.

The Airbus A340 initially had been bound for Nicaragua when it was detained last Thursday at Vatry airport, east of Paris, where it had stopped for refueling.

It had arrived from Dubai and there was an anonymous tip-off that it was carrying potential victims of human trafficking.

Of the original 303 people on the passenger list, 276 were on the plane that took off just before 3:00 pm (1400 GMT) Monday.

It landed at Mumbai’s international airport after a nearly nine-hour flight, just after 4:00 am local time Tuesday (2230 GMT Monday), aviation tracking website Flightradar24 showed.

Among the passengers staying behind were two people questioned by French police over suspected people trafficking, but a judicial source said police released them after establishing that the 303 passengers had boarded the plane of their own free will.

Collaboration between relevant authorities in France and India

The French authorities are continuing to investigate the case for violation of immigration laws, but no longer for potential people trafficking, judicial sources said.

The details surrounding the nature of the trafficking concerns and the specific actions taken during the investigation have not been disclosed by the authorities involved.

However, their efforts have culminated in the successful completion of the aircraft’s journey to its intended destination.

Although the plane’s detainment caused delays and inconvenience, the collaboration between relevant authorities in both France and India highlights the importance of international cooperation in dealing with such issues effectively.

The Indian embassy in Paris posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday that it was grateful for the “quick resolution” of the incident.

As more information becomes available, it is anticipated that additional details regarding the investigation and the measures implemented will be disclosed by the respective authorities involved.
