Mumbai: Thirty year-old Sujata Survase, a Mumbai-based airhostess aboard the Air India Boeing 737 Express aircraft from Dubai that overshot the runway at Mangalore airport while landing, succumbed to injuries.
Survase was a resident of the MHADA colony at Four Bungalows and previously worked at a call centre. One of her neighbours, Sarita, said, "Sujata wanted to shift to Mumbai so that she could be close to her family but wasn't able to. She wanted to switch back to her job at the call center since they paid her well. I last met her on May 1 when she was here to attend a puja and her brother's birthday party."
Survase's parents were looking at marriage proposals for their only daughter. The airhostess is survived by three brothers: two elder and one younger.
It was a tense morning for Survase's friends and relatives as they waited to hear from her parents, who rushed to Mangalore on Saturday morning after hearing news of the crash.
"Sujata wanted to shift back to Mumbai so that she could be close to her family," Sarita, deceased Sujata Survase's neighbor.
