Chennai, 28 May (H.S.) : A dramatic incident unfolded at the Chennai International Airport on Tuesday morning when an Air India flight aborted its landing just 200 feet above the runway, narrowly avoiding a potential disaster. The flight, which had 180 passengers on board, was approaching the runway when the pilots suddenly aborted the landing procedure.

According to sources, the pilots noticed a technical issue that prompted them to take immediate action and divert the plane for another attempt. The quick reflexes of the pilots potentially averted a major accident, and all passengers on board were reportedly safe.

The incident has raised concerns about air safety at the Chennai airport, and an investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the technical issue. The aviation authorities are examining the aircraft and reviewing the flight data recorders to ascertain the reasons behind the aborted landing.

Passengers described the ordeal as harrowing, with many expressing relief that no harm was caused. Air India has assured that passenger safety is their top priority and promised a thorough investigation into the incident.

The flight eventually landed safely at the airport later, and passengers were accommodated on other flights or provided with necessary amenities.
