Airport officials were quick to the aid of the passengers as they helped the passengers deplane and a team of engineers investigated the damage suffered by the aircraft.
Post this incident, air traffic increased over the city airport, leading to flights go-arounds and diversions. Air India AI 868 was one among the flights to abort landing.
