A near-miss involving two Air India aircraft occurs at Mumbai airport when an Air India Express flight and an Air India flight operate on the same runway sequence. According to reports citing sources, the incident takes place at around 10 p.m. The Air India Express aircraft has landed but has not yet vacated the runway. At the same time, a separate Air India aircraft bound for Delhi is preparing to take off from that same runway. The situation creates a face-to-face operational conflict in which one aircraft is still on the runway while another is scheduled to move into the takeoff position. The accounts do not specify any injuries or damage, and they describe the event primarily as a runway coordination problem between the landing and departure phases of flight operations. Aviation sources quoted by the outlet attribute the issue to the overlap between the arrival aircraft’s runway occupancy and the departure aircraft’s readiness to launch from the same strip. Further official details are not provided in the available summaries.
