Investigation report finds glaring similarities between accidents at Calicut and Mangaluru airports
The Hindu
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau carried out a probe into the August 7, 2000 and May 22, 2010 crashes.
Raising some concern about aviation safety, glaring similarities have been found between the Air India Express B737-800 aircraft crash at the Calicut Airport on August 7, 2000 and the Air India Express accident at Mangaluru Airport on May 22, 2010. In its final investigation report, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) which probed the accident said that all the actionable recommendations of the Court of Inquiry (COI) in the Mangaluru incident had been implemented. “However, the investigation team observed that some salient recommendations have not been wholly addressed,” it said. In the last 10 years, the Air India Express has had two major accidents and a number of non-fatal accidents or serious incidents. Most of the accidents were a result of continuation of unstabilised approach and total disregard to the repeated calls from the First Officer to ‘Go Around’, both being a serious breach of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). This had resulted in long landings in which the aircraft was unable to stop on the runway and terminated in excursion, the report said.

Iz, who goes by the pronouns they/them, explains, “This building is still standing, though it shut down in 2013,” they say, pointing out that telegraphy, which started in Bengaluru in 1854, was an instrument of colonial power and control. “The British colonised lands via telegraph cables, something known as the All Red Line.”
