32 passengers from Thiruvananthapuram on board an Alliance Air flight were shocked to find themselves at Kochi airport after the pilot announced they had landed at Kozhikode. Naturally, this amused a large number of people online. The UnReal Times tweeted: 'Could have been worse. What if the pilot had landed in Kandahar instead of Kozhikode?' A certain JJR pointed out: 'Kozhikode is trending. Just so none of you mistake it for Kochi next time.' According to Joy Das: 'Happens. I once reached Parel instead of Vile Parle.' There was this comment from Hemant Mittal: 'Next time I want to go to Delhi, will catch an Alliance Air flight to Pune.' And from Rahul Srivastava: 'Thanks to the pilot, Alliance Air got so much PR, they met their publicity goals for the century.' Lastly, Rofl Indian asked: 'The more important question is ufffd how did the Kochi ATC allow an out-of-schedule Alliance Air flight to land there at all?'
