DGCA should not allow landings at Kozhikode airport during monsoons: Aviation safety expert
MUMBAI/ CHENNAI: A day after the crash of an Air India Express plane, aviation safety expert Captain Ranganathan, who had earlier flagged concerns about Kozhikode airport runway, on Saturday said regulator DGCA should not allow landing of flights during monsoons on runway 10 at the aerodrome.
The ill-fated plane, coming from Dubai with 190 people, overshot the runway 10, went down 35 feet on a slope and broke into two pieces. The crash killed at least 18 people, including the flight’s two pilots, and scores were injured.
