A near-collision is averted at Mumbai airport after an Air India aircraft aborts take-off when an Air India Express plane is still on the same runway. Multiple reports say the incident occurs around 10 pm on Tuesday. In the sequence described, air traffic control instructs the Air India flight to abort its take-off, and the flight complies. At that time, an Air India Express aircraft that had arrived from Siliguri had not yet cleared the runway. The two planes effectively come face-to-face on the runway, but the aborted take-off prevents any collision. Airport and aviation officials are expected to review the circumstances, including air traffic control communications and runway occupancy procedures. The incident is treated as a serious safety event that requires examination by the relevant aviation authorities, though no reports indicate injuries or damage to either aircraft in the accounts provided.
