It looks like he’s got it.”Once the plane hit the runway, he says, “A very skilled Indian pilot there.”

Captains Anchit Bhardwaj and Aditya Rao were at the controls.Air India too praised its pilots."Our skilled pilots landed in London when many other airlines couldn't," said an Air India official.

Twitter was flooded with tweets, appreciating the courage and professionalism of pilots.
