New Delhi: Close on the heels of two Indian carriers experiencing landing troubles at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, another incident created a scare at the airport.
An Indian flight bound for Sharjah could not take off after having taxied on runway as the pilot experienced some technical problems with the plane’s nose wheel.
Flight No IC-883, bound for Sharjah via Lucknow, had a snag in the alignment of the nose wheel which was noticed by the pilot while taking the plane towards the runway for take off.
He stopped the aircraft at taxi-way without proceeding further and informed the control room. Airport sources said no passenger was injured in the incident and they were all moved to another plane for their onward journey.
The incident comes just a day after an Air India Boeing aircraft bound for Dubai suffered a technical fault before take-off at the IGI Airport in less than a fortnight after two of its flights landing under emergency conditions.
The Civil Aviation Ministry had taken serious note of these incidents and shot off a letter to the state-owned carrier, directing it to take urgent steps to revamp its engineering network.
