In Mumbai Airport Scare, IndiGo And Air India Planes Were Just 509 m Apart
NDTV
An IndiGo flight from Indore landed on the same runway just moments after an Air India jet took off for Thiruvananthapuram.
At Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, two aircraft came alarmingly close to each other on the runway yesterday, with only 509 metres separating them. An IndiGo flight from Indore landed on the same runway just moments after an Air India jet took off for Thiruvananthapuram.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched an investigation and de-rostered the air traffic controller involved in the incident. According to DGCA guidelines, air traffic control can issue landing clearance only when there is a reasonable assurance that the landing aircraft won't cross the threshold until the preceding departing aircraft has crossed the end of the runway. This rule appears to have been violated.
"In this particular case that happened on Saturday at the Mumbai airport, the visibility was good and there was no air proximity situation in respect to the landing of the IndiGo flight and the taking off of the Air India flight," the guild representing air traffic controllers said in a statement.
