Technical checks still need to be completed. The weather is also the reason for the delay in its return. The F-35 aircraft that took off from the warship made an emergency landing in Thiruvananthapuram in adverse weather conditions and after running low on fuel. The British Navy aircraft was refueled yesterday after receiving clearance from the Home Department. Some technical faults were noticed in the aircraft, so further checks are being conducted. After receiving technical clearance, permission will be given to return if the weather at sea is favorable. Military personnel from the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, which is anchored 100 nautical miles off the Kerala coast, are also remaining in Thiruvananthapuram.
