Trujet plane makes emergency landing at Chennai airport; passengers safe

An aircraft belonging to Trujet airline bound for Mysore from Belgaum last night made an emergency landing at the airport here due to landing gear issue and got stuck on the main runway, authorities said on Tuesday.

However, there were no casualties nor anyone was injured in the incident.

The 52 passengers, including five crew members and an infant, were safely evacuated from the runway itself, a PIB release said.

The aircraft, which left Belgaum for Mysore, was diverted to Chennai due to ‘landing gear issue’, it said.

The plane, which safely landed at the main runway here, could not be further taxied on its own as the landing gear got stuck.
