Mumbai: Nearly 244 passengers had a miraculous escape when two aircraft came face to face on the taxi way at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport late on Thursday night, an airport official said.
A Kingfisher airlines aircraft with 117 people on board was about to take off when an Air India Nagpur-Mumbai flight with 127 passengers landed and was speeding on the same runway.
However, since the distance between the two aircraft was considerable, both managed to stop and a potential disaster was averted.
No further details of the incident were immediately available.
