MUMBAI: Forty-two passengers on board a Kingfisher flight had a close brush with catastrophe when their aircraft skidded off the runway moments after landing at Mumbai airport on Tuesday afternoon.
Flight IT 4124 from Bhavnagar landed and was moving towards a taxiway to vacate the runway.
But instead of turning right onto the taxiway, the plane skidded off the runway and into a grassy patch.
There were no casualties.
Preliminary reports said the pilot could not control the aircraft's speed while vacating the runway.
