Air Sahara flight crashlands in Goa: No one injured

Panaji, Jan 7 (UNI) The crew of a Indian private airline had a providential escape when their flight crash-landed at the Dhabolim airport following a technical snag here last night, officials said today.

The four-member crew of the Air Sahara flight, however, escaped unhurt in the accident caused by collapse of the landing gear in the under-carriage wheel, Airport Authority of India Director Anuj Agarwal told UNI.

He added that the runway has been cleared this morning.

Several flights were delayed for about four hours and the authorities were assessing the extent of the damage the 52-seater CRJ Sahara flight S2-2200 had incurred.

About 20 to 30 flights including chartered flights operate from Dhabolim airport every day and the Air Sahara flight was on its way to Goa from Mumbai to clear extra rush of passengers when the mishap occurred at about 2230 hrs, Mr Agarwal added.

Flights were running on schedule today, he said.
