Narrow escape for 70 Air India passengers, flight lands with jammed wheels

Bhopal: Nearly 70 passengers of Air India’s Mumbai-Bhopal flight, AI-633, had a narrow escape when tyres of the aircraft got jammed after landing at the Raja Bhoj Airport on Thursday.
The aircraft dragged with jammed wheels to some distance before it came to a screeching halt. However, none of the passengers or the members of the crew was hurt in the incidence.
The Air India administration cancelled the flight, which had to proceed to New Delhi from Bhopal, and the passengers were accommodated in Shyamala Hills situated Hotel Lake View. The flight could only take off at 9 pm with new set of tyres. Talking to Bhaskar News, Air India’s Bhopal station manager Wasim Khan said the company arranged another aircraft so that the regular Delhi-Bhopal service, AI-634, is not cancelled. Khan assured that both the flights will take off on time on Friday.
