Mental fatigue, lack of assertiveness and non-compliance of instructions by the on-ground staff led an Air India flight to crash into a wall at the Stockholm Arlanda airport last year, a report has found. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) uploaded the report, based on findings of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, on its website on Friday.
On November 28, 2018, an Air India B787-800 aircraft operating flight Al-167 (Delhi to Stockholm) crashed into a building wall at the Stockholm airport while landing. The plane had 175 passengers and ten crew members on board. While the collision didn’t cause any injuries, the aircraft was immediately stopped and passengers were deplaned after necessary clearances from the local authorities.
