After landing, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal described the incident as ‘narrowly escapes’ from a major accident.
KC Venugopal made 3 hours of dreadful condition
He said in a post on social media platform x, “Air India flight AI2455, which was going from Thiruvananthapuram to Delhi, was aboard the accident today. The flight first began late. Shortly after flying, there was a strong shock. About an hour later, the captain said that the flight has a signal malfunction and is being diverted to Chennai. For about two hours, we kept circling the Chennai Airport. A scary moment came to an attempt to land for the first time when it was discovered that there was another aircraft on the runway. The captain immediately lifted the aircraft, which saved everyone’s life. In the second attempt, the flight landed safely. We survived the pilot’s understanding and luck. The safety of passengers cannot be left to luck. I urge the DGCA and the Civil Aviation Ministry to investigate the incident immediately, decide the responsibility and make sure that such a lapse never happens again. ”
What did Air India respond?
At the same time, Air India wrote in response to KC Venugopal’s post on X, “We want to clarify that the decision to divert flights towards Chennai was taken as caution. Because the aircraft had technical problems and bad weather conditions. During the first landing attempt at Chennai Airport, Chennai Air Traffic Control (ATC) directed Go-Around. This was not due to the runway of another aircraft. ”
