The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has initiated an investigation into a recent incident at Mumbai airport involving a private jet that skidded off the runway amid heavy rains. The incident resulted in the aircraft breaking into two parts and injuring eight people on board, including two pilots and a crew member.
The private jet, arriving from Visakhapatnam, veered off the runway during adverse weather conditions. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but all eight individuals on board were hospitalized due to their injuries.
The AAIB team arrived in Mumbai promptly and commenced its investigation, which will involve gathering evidence from the accident site and conducting interviews with the flight crew and other relevant parties.
The incident had temporarily affected airport operations, but the debris has been successfully cleared, and both runways at Mumbai airport are now fully operational.
Safety remains a top priority in aviation, and thorough investigations by authorities like the AAIB are essential to understanding the causes of such incidents and implementing measures to prevent them in the future.
