On Wednesday morning, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar left for Baramati from Mumbai, where he had to address a public meeting to the Zilla Parishad elections. When his plane reached Baramati Airport between 8:45 and 9:15 in the morning, there was dense fog. Due to low visibility, the plane lost balance during landing and fell into a nearby field instead of the runway. The collision was so strong that the plane was completely burnt to ashes.
Shambhavi Pathak was in the cockpit
This ill-fated flight was being flown by experienced Captain Sumit and First Officer Shambhavi Pathak. Both pilots died in the accident. Shambhavi Pathak was a promising and hardworking pilot, who made her mark in the world of aviation at an early age. His untimely demise sent a wave of mourning across the entire aviation sector.
Journey from Mumbai to New Zealand
Shambhavi Pathak’s early education was in Mumbai. He obtained a BSc degree in Aeronautics and Aviation Science from Mumbai University. With the dream of becoming a pilot, she went to New Zealand, where she took professional flying training from the International Commercial Pilot Academy. After completing his training in the year 2018-19, he got a commercial pilot license from the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority.
Career with VSR Ventures
Since 2022, Shambhavi Pathak was working as a pilot with Delhi-based private company VSR Ventures. The registration number of the Learjet 45 aircraft which caused this accident was VT-SSK.

DGCA investigation and questions arising
According to preliminary information, the main reason for the accident is believed to be bad weather and dense fog.

It is also worth noting that another aircraft of VSR Ventures has met with an accident at Mumbai Airport in September 2023, due to which questions are being raised on the security arrangements of the company.
