BENGALURU: Altogether 165 passengers aboard an AirAsia India flight which had reached Bengaluru from New Delhi survived a major scare on Tuesday, when their aircraft moved nearly 100 feet in the reverse direction, after it had safely landed and parked.
The incident did not happen in a main parking bay, but at a remote bay where the aircraft was parked and was to depart on its return leg shortly. Flight No. I5 740 had taken off from Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport at 8 am and landed at Kempegowda International Airport at 10.36 am, four minutes before schedule. It was the lack of coordination between aircraft engineers on the ground and the Flight Captain that led to the situation, said a source.
