DGCA to audit operator after air ambulance belly-landing at Mumbai airport
Aviation regulator DGCA will conduct an audit of Jet Serve Aviation Private Limited whose aircraft belly-landed at the Mumbai airport after losing one of its wheels, officials said on Friday.
The air ambulance flight headed for Mumbai lost a wheel while taking off from the Nagpur airport on Thursday. It safely belly-landed at the Mumbai airport on a foam carpet later, they said.
A foam carpet is created on a runway by spreading foam using fire extinguishers so that a plane does not catch fire during an emergency landing.
The officials said the company, Jet Serve Aviation, will undergo a full audit to understand the cause of this incident.
