Former UWI Principal, Professor Clement Sankat, appreciates the inquiries and calls for support after his son, 22 year old Nishal Sankat, was charged with attempting to steal a passenger jet that was undergoing maintenance at Florida's Orlando Melbourne International Airport. A release from the family said they have not yet been able to speak to Nishal, and are trying to ascertain the facts surrounding the incident. According to international reports, Nishal Sankat, who's a student pilot at the Florida Institute of Technology, parked his vehicle curbside around 2am before jumping the fence, running across the apron, and boarding the American Airlines Airbus A321. US law enforcement says a maintenance supervisor and a technician were aboard the aircraft when one noticed a shadow. The employees grabbed the man and took him off the aircraft. Sankat will remain in police custody, and reports say he is also facing charges of criminal trespassing and a Visa violation.
