The Indian Air Force (IAF) forced a Georgian aircraft that entered Indian air space in north Gujarat at 3.15 pm on Friday to land at a Jaipur air base. Two SU-30 fighter planes escorted the Tbilisi-Delhi (via Karachi) An-12. "The aircraft did not follow the authorised Air Traffic Services (ATS) route and was not responding to radio calls," the IAF said. "On visual contact, the aircraft was identified as Georgian An-12 flying at 27,000 feet," IAF said in a statement. When challenged, it informed that it was a non-scheduled An-12 aircraft that took off from Georgia for Delhi, via Karachi.
