A Kolkata-bound Air India flight with 144 passengers on board made an emergency landing minutes after taking off from the Kumbirgram Airport in Assam’s Silchar due to a technical glitch on Wednesday morning.
“The pilot detected a glitch along with a hydraulic leak. The pilot landed the plane back at the Silchar airport. A full emergency was declared at the airport and the flight also suffered landing gear failure,” PK Gorai, the airport director said.
Gorai said they were trying to figure out what went wrong. “This is a huge plane and we have only one runway at our airport which is presently blocked. If this Air India flight does not fly, we have to cancel other flights for now.”
