Indian domestic flights

Varanasi, India: A scheduled Akasa Air flight QP 1424, from Varanasi to Bengaluru failed to depart at 7:55 PM on Thursday, leaving 143 passengers stranded overnight in Varanasi following a technical issue. The flight had already been boarded when the problem surfaced. The aircraft was being pushed back from the gate toward the runway when the pilot was alerted to a fault. As a precautionary measure, the pushback was halted and the aircraft returned to the apron for further inspection. The airline’s technical crew attempted repairs for approximately three hours, but the fault could not be fixed. By around 11:30 p.m., the airline announced that the service would not operate. Passengers waited for several hours at the airport before being informed of the cancellation. Subsequently, Akasa Air made arrangements to accommodate the affected passengers in nearby hotels for the night. An Akasa Air spokesperson said “Passengers who chose alternate flight options were provided airport transfers and refreshments. At Akasa Air, passenger safety and comfort are paramount, and we deeply regret the inconvenience caused.” Authorities and airline officials have yet to release a public statement explaining the precise nature of the technical fault. No further updates regarding compensation or rebooking timelines have been formally communicated.

Mumbai, India: A major aviation scare unfolded on Friday afternoon when a SpiceJet Bombardier Q400 aircraft operating flight SG 2906 from Kandla to Mumbai lost one of its main landing gear wheels shortly after take-off. The aircraft, carrying 75 passengers and crew, landed safely at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) under full emergency protocol, averting a potential disaster. According to airport authorities at Kandla, air traffic controllers spotted an object falling off the aircraft during take-off around 2:38 pm. Upon closer inspection, officials confirmed that it was the outer wheel of the right rear landing gear, along with metal rings that rolled off the runway. The parts were later recovered for investigation. Despite the wheel loss, the pilots continued to Mumbai after coordinating with air traffic control. A full emergency was declared at Mumbai airport, where firefighting and rescue teams were positioned near the runway. The aircraft landed at 3:51 pm on Runway 27, taxied under its own power, and parked safely. All passengers disembarked without incident. A SpiceJet spokesperson confirmed the incident, stating that the airline is cooperating with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for a detailed probe. “The safety of our passengers and crew remains our highest priority. The affected aircraft has been grounded pending thorough inspection,” the airline said in a statement. Aviation experts suggest several possible causes for such a wheel detachment, including failure of the locking mechanism, loose axle nuts, bearing issues, or material fatigue. The Q400’s landing gear has dual wheels on each side, which allowed the pilots to land with reduced but adequate braking capability. Operations at Mumbai airport resumed shortly after the aircraft was cleared from the runway. No further delays were reported. The DGCA has initiated an inquiry to determine whether the incident was due to a maintenance lapse, manufacturing defect, or operational issue. Preliminary findings are expected in the coming days.
