From North to South and from East to West, it is raining heavily in most parts of India currently. The monsoon season is showing its grey, cloudy shares with heavy showers lashing places. Pictures and videos of waterlogged railway stations, flooded roads, and damaged areas due to rainfall are making rounds on the Internet. Recently, we found a video of a pilot trying to enter the waterlogged Jaipur International Airport in his unique way.
Pilot Entered Jaipur Airport On A Luggage Trolley
Taking to X, Veena Jain (@DrJain21) shared a video of a pilot struggling to go inside the airport due to waterlogging outside.
This is Jaipur Adani Airport ✈️

Jaipur has joined the list of Indian cities facing a difficult time due to adverse weather conditions. Social media platforms are flooded with places getting drenched in very heavy rains and the impact is frightening to watch. Amid multiple news of property damages, landslides, and traffic congestion, a video showing a pilot overcoming obstacles to enter Jaipur airport went viral.
The viral clip shows a pilot riding a luggage trolley outside the airport to go inside. He balanced and stood on that cart and escaped the situation as the path in between was waterlogged due to heavy downpours in Jaipur. A staff of the airport assisted him to stand still and pushed the trolley to the airport. Also, another man helped the pilot carry his bags safely. This one-of-a-kind attempt to cross the lightly flooded area grabbed everyone’s attention. Understandably, the pilot had no other solution than taking this cart to a dry place else his shoes and pants would have gotten wet before boarding his flight.
It has been some time since it started raining cats and dogs in this city in Rajasthan. Visuals of roads under water and overflowing drains are circulating on social media. The district administration closed schools in Jaipur on August 2 as massive showers disrupted people’s lives.
Netizens React To The Pilot’s Video
The clip of the pilot standing on a baggage cart stirred a conversation on X. Though people are impressed by his dedication to his profession and his idea to escape the waterlogged area, X users are pointing out issues of water drainage, waterlogging, and infrastructure. Here’s what they have to say about this clip.
Every where there is problem of proper drainage resulting in water logging. It’s really a shame

Where do they select engineers & architects from ? Failed colleges? It’s a joke or what. Everywhere it’s the same story

Wow, what an entrance! I’m curious how the average traveler will get into the airport—maybe they’ll need a boat, or is it an air+water port now? 🤔
