There were no reported casualties, according to officials, and the landing was safe. An investigation into the event has been mandated by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

Around 9.45 am, while the plane was taking off, its tail hit the runway at Kozhikode airport. Another possibility is that the aircraft’s hydraulic gear was harmed. The Air India Express claimed in a statement that the emergency landing was due to technical difficulties.

The plane successfully landed at Thiruvananthapuram airport at 12.15 pm after dropping gasoline into the water from the air close to Vizhinjam.

Thiruvananthapuram Airport

Since Thiruvananthapuram Airport is the state’s safest airport for emergency landings, the aircraft crew chose to make the touchdown there.

The crew attempted to land at Kochi’s Nedumbassery Airport, but the airport’s staff warned them that an emergency landing would be difficult. Later on, they made the decision to fly into Thiruvananthapuram Airport. The runway had already been cleared by airport officials to ensure a safe landing for the aircraft.

The passengers were sent to the airport’s transit lounge following landing. To go to their destinations, the passengers would subsequently board another plane in Thiruvananthapuram.

When an aircraft’s tail or empennage collides with the ground or any other immovable object during takeoff or landing, it is said to have experienced a “tail strike,” according to airport sources.

An Air India Express flight (Flight No. IX540) from Dubai to Thiruvananthapuram had to make an emergency landing there earlier on February 19 due to a technical issue with its nose wheel.
