Air India Pilot’s Quick Decision Saves Passengers After ‘Go Around’ Order

An Air India flight, departing from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, bound for Delhi on August 10th, experienced a harrowing ordeal. The flight, carrying passengers including Congress MP K.C. Venugopal and four other MPs, encountered a technical fault, leading to a two-hour delay. The aircraft was diverted to Chennai due to the technical issue. Passengers faced turbulence, and after approximately an hour, the pilot announced a single fault. The flight circled the airport for about two hours. The pilot initiated a landing attempt, but upon approach, discovered another aircraft on the runway, prompting the immediate decision to execute a ‘go around’.
