Date:

The capital’s busy IGI Airport saw an aircraft rejecting take off at high speed as a near collision averted between Air India and Indigo Airline planes on Friday.

This close shave happened when Air India’s AI 156 with over 120 people on board was rolling at a high speed to take off for Goa from IGIA’s main runway 28 at about 11.30 am.

These two runways are not parallel and taper in the direction where the AI flight was to take off and from where the other plane was coming in to land,” said a source.

ATC comments were sought on this issue, but they were yet to respond by the time of filing the story. However, no major casualty reported yet.
