The given map shows locations of airports labelled as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. What is the correct sequence of the airports in which the hijacked Indian Airlines plane IC-814 landed after its initial take off from Kathmandu in December 1999?

Correct Option :

The correct sequence of airports is 5, 4, 2, 3.

The hijacked Indian Airlines flight IC-814, which originated from Kathmandu, followed a specific sequence of landings before reaching Kandahar. This sequence was:

• Amritsar (5): The initial landing after the hijacking occurred at Amritsar, India.
• Lahore (4): Subsequently, the aircraft landed in Lahore, Pakistan.
• Dubai (2): The next stop was Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
• Kandahar (3): The final destination where the hostage crisis concluded was Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Incorrect Options:

The other options present incorrect sequences of the airports where IC-814 landed. The historical record of the hijacking incident confirms the itinerary as Amritsar, Lahore, Dubai, and Kandahar. Any deviation from this sequence is factually inaccurate regarding the events of the IC-814 hijacking.
