Nishal Sankat is back in the jurisdiction of Trinidad and Tobago.

Sankat, 22, arrived in Trinidad and Tobago just after 10 pm on Wednesday on Caribbean Airlines BW481.

He was accompanied by two US police officers and handed over to plain-clothed local officers.

His father, Professor Clement Sankat, was said to have accompanied his son into the country.

The 22-year-old was not in handcuffs and was allowed to disembark from the flight along with the other passengers – many of whom were none-the-wiser.

Sankat was returned to Trinidad as part of a plea deal after he was charged with attempting to steal a vacant passenger aeroplane off the runway of the Orlando Melbourne Airport, Florida.

As part of the deal, Sankat will lose his pilot license and VISA, he will be placed on a no-fly list and will no longer be allowed to re-enter the US.

Upon arrival, the two relatives were taken into a room by local authorities where they had a conversation with officials before being released.

The younger man, LoopTT was told, is currently at home and in the care of his family.
