Tragedy in Canadian Skies: Young Indian Pilot Perishes in Mid-Air Collision
A pall of grief has descended upon the Indian community following the tragic death of Sreehari Sukesh, a young Indian student pilot, in a mid-air collision in Manitoba, Canada. The accident occurred on July 10, 2025, near Steinbach.
Sukesh, whose promising aviation career was cut short, was reportedly involved in a collision during takeoff and landing practice. The other pilot involved, 20-year-old Savanna May Royes, also lost her life in the incident.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has launched a full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. Details regarding the exact cause remain scarce at this time.
This devastating incident underscores the inherent risks associated with flight training and highlights the need for stringent safety protocols. The loss of such a young and promising life serves as a stark reminder of the sacrifices made in pursuit of dreams. The Indian High Commission in Canada is reportedly in contact with the family to provide necessary support during this difficult time.
