Air India flight passengers had a narrow escape at Kathmandu airport after the AI aircraft took off from Delhi to Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and the pilots aborted landing due to an incorrect approach.
The incident was thoroughly reported to India’s aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). “It was a go-around due to an unestablished approach,” DGCA told ANI.
“Immediately after the unstable approach at Kathmandu airport the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) asked the AI pilot to ‘go around’ and after 20 minutes the flight landed safely,” ANI reported citing sources.
