The aircraft accident investigation Bureau of Investigation (AAIB) is investigating the accident and has already submitted its preliminary report. Apart from this, the passengers in Air India’s Kochi-Mumbai flight narrowly escaped, when the aircraft went out of the runway while landing on the ground. On Monday, Air India’s flight from Delhi to Kolkata was canceled at the last minute due to “technical fault”, while IndiGo flight from Goa was launched in an emergency due to a “landing gear” problem.
