Jammu, May 30 -- A major air tragedy was averted on Sunday, when an Indigo airlines flight from Srinagar aborted landing at Jammu airport and became air borne again. This incident took place at around 1.55 pm.
The aircraft managed to land successfully in a second attempt. 123 passengers were on board the Indigo airlines flight from Srinagar to Delhi via Jammu.

"At the time of landing Air Traffic Control (ATC) officials cancelled the landing clearance and the aircraft had to take off again and after that getting clearance from ATC again, the air craft landed successfully," said Indigo Airlines Manager Dev Prateen Choudhary

Sources at the airport said, "The aircraft over-flew from the actual landing area and the pilot of the aircraft showed his extraordinary skills and was able to save the lives of people when he managed to take off again after seeing that he had over flew (sic) from the actual landing zone." Rejecting the claims of Indigo airlines that ATC cancelled the clearance for landing at the last moment, an ATC official, requesting anonymity, said, "We had given the clearance to the aircraft for landing.



I especially like the way the pilot showed extraordinary skills to avert a disaster.
