Air India suffers latest plane malfunction in Oman

A runway at Muscat International Airport was temporarily closed this week, following a rejected takeoff by an Air India plane.
The troubled airline’s Airbus A320-200, which was scheduled to fly from the Oman capital to Kozhikode in India, had 132 passengers onboard when one of the engine's Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) indication went beyond limits.
A number of tyres deflated during deceleration and the aircraft came to a safe stop on the runway, according to a report in the Aviation Herald.
A maintenance check later detected that major repair work was required on the brakes and the flight was therefore postponed.
