Abu Dhabi: Mavis Corda, a nurse at the Shaikh Khalifa Medical City in Abu Dhabi, is frantically waiting to hear about the fate of her husband Shailesh Brahmavar Rao who was on board the Air India plane that crashed in Mangalore on Saturday morning to attend his mother's funeral.
"My cousin has gone to the airport and I am just praying to hear some good news," Mavis told Gulf News hours after she learnt of the accident.
Both Mavis, who is a nurse and her husband who also works as a clerk in the same hospital, flew an Air India Express on Thursday when they returned to the UAE after visiting her husband's critically ill mother.
"We just returned on Thursday and on Friday we received news that my mother-in-law expired. My husband took the night flight to attend his mother's funeral," said the Mangalorean, who now makes an agonising wait to learn the fate of her husband.
