Part of the debris of the Air India Express plane that crashed at nearby Karipur airport on August 7, killing 21 people, was on Friday shifted from the accident site for facilitating a thorough probe, airport authorities said.
The airline’s officials from Mumbai supervised the shifting of the cockpit portion of the aircraft to a nearby area, using a crane, they said.
Twenty one people, including the pilot and co-pilot, were killed when the AIE flight from Dubai with 190 people on board overshot the tabletop runway, fell into a 35-feet valley and broke into two portions.
“The rest of the debris will also be removed from the accident site to a nearby location and preserved there for further investigations,” authorities said.
