Brussels: Flight attendant Nidhi Chaphekar who was injured in the Brussels airport blasts is in stable condition and recovering, her airline Jet Airways said today.
The airline said earlier reports that Ms Chaphekar is in a coma were incorrect. "The doctor has confirmed that Nidhi is in stable condition and not in coma," Jet Airways said in a statement. "She is resting and under sedation for her comfort."
Ms Chapekar, who suffered burns and fractured her foot in the explosions on Tuesday, has been treated at a hospital near Brussels.
A photograph of her taken right after the airport blasts has become an iconic image of the attacks. It showed the 40-year-old mother of two sitting dazed and bloodied, with her bright yellow uniform ripped.
Her hair was caked with soot, and blood streaked down her face.
Ms Chaphekar's husband, who flew from Mumbai to Paris and travelled by road to Brussels, is at the hospital with her.
Meanwhile, Jet flew out the passengers who were stuck in Brussels after the attacks. Some passengers returned to Delhi early Friday, while others left for Newark from Amsterdam.
Tuesday's bombings in the Brussels airport and subway killed 31 people and wounded 270.
