Pigs back on airport runway

Nagpur: An Indigo airlines flight from Mumbai had to abort landing at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport last week after its pilot spotted a pig on the runway. The incident has again exposed the inability of the airport authority to control the stray animal menace. Even as airport operator Mihan India Limited (MIL) has denied the incident, sources at the airport confirmed it.
Sources also added that the pilot spotted the animal on the runway around 12.55pm and alerted the Air Traffic Control. He aborted the landing and carried out a go-around to land some 25 minutes later, sources disclosed.
