An Air India flight from Mumbai to Delhi encountered a dicey situation when an unstable approach forced the pilot to abort the landing, sources revealed. The flight AI 2910, operated with an A320-neo aircraft, had to loop back for a second attempt, which thankfully resulted in a safe landing.
A passenger on board reported that the aircraft touched down initially but had to take off again when crucial landing parameters were not met. The pilot informed passengers of a go-around maneuver, a standard aviation procedure when a safe landing can't be guaranteed.
Air India confirmed the incident, stating that the flight was following routine protocols, leading to a secure arrival at Delhi airport on the second try. The total number of passengers aboard remains undisclosed.
