MUMBAI, DECEMBER 10: Director General of Civil Aviation is conducting a probe into landing of a Kingfisher aircraft on the grass instead of the runway, at Pune Airport on December seven.
The aircraft bound for Bangalore had taken off from Ahmedabad via Pune. It landed on the grass and damaged arrester bar which has been errected to stop fighter planes as Pune Airport is managed by the Indian Air Force, the sources said.
The aircraft was commanded by a foreign pilot and co-pilot was Indian. The entire crew was detained soon after the incident, the sources added."
Lets hope this was done for a specific reason.... say., the grass looked greener or something !!
Don't the Indian Airline 320's have beefed up gear's to operate on 4-wheel terrain. Wonder if the Kingfisher one's have them too
