Guwahati: An Air India flight that took off from Southern Assam’s Kumbirgram airport in Silchar on Wednesday had to return for an emergency landing after one of its landing gears malfunctioned.
According to sources at the airport, the flight, an Airbus A319, was bound for Kolkata with near-capacity passengers. The plane was forced to land immediately after take-off after a snag was noticed in one of its wheels.
The airport authorities initiated NOTAM action over the non-availability of a parking bay for the day. A notice to airmen (NOTAM) is filed with an aviation authority to alert aircraft pilots of potential hazards along a flight route or at a location that could affect the safety of the flight.
