Air India Delhi-Kolkata flight aborts take-off run due to technical glitch
The flight, AI2403, was subsequently halted for mandatory safety checks. The cockpit crew decided to discontinue the take-off in adherence to Standard Operating Procedures.
The airline confirmed that all passengers onboard the flight were safely disembarked following the incident, according to the report.
The incident came nearly after a month of tragic crash of Air India flight AI171 that killed 260 people including 241 on board and 19 on ground. The preliminary investigation of the crash suggests that the incident happened due to a cut in fuel supply to the engine.
Earlier on Monday, an Air India flight AI2744 from Kochi skidded off the runway after touchdown at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
An Air India spokesperson said that the 'runway excursion' happened as the plane was attempting the landing at the Mumbai airport during heavy rainfall.

In Shocking Video, Elderly Woman Grabs Snake Like It Is A Stuffed Toy
Last Updated: Reacting to the shocking video, a user said, "Snakes can't be pets, and it is poisonous and can cause fatality." A 70-year-old woman from a village in Pune has gone viral for her fearless act involving a snake, all done to spread awareness. Shakuntala Sutar, who lives in Kasar Amboli village in Mulshi Taluka, calmly picked up a non-venomous rat snake (known locally as Dhaman) that had entered her home. Instead of panicking or calling for help, she handled the situation herself. A video that captured the moment shows her lifting the snake with her bare hands and even wrapping it around her neck. As per India Today, her son, Ganesh Sutar, explained, 'She held it without fear because it wasn't poisonous," adding, 'My mother wanted to show people that not all snakes are dangerous." The video of the incident was recorded by bystanders and has been widely shared online. Many people were shocked to see the elderly woman dealing with such a large snake without fear. Apparently, Shakuntala's goal wasn't to shock; it was to 'educate". Her family mentioned she 'wanted people to understand that snakes like the rat snake are not harmful and play an important role in nature", especially in farms where they help control rodent populations. What Did The Elderly Woman Say? 'There is no need to panic when you see a snake. Not every snake is venomous. The rat snake doesn't harm humans; in fact, it is helpful for farms as it eats rats and pests. People often kill snakes out of fear and superstition, which is wrong," she explained as quoted by The Free Press Journal. Reacting to the video, a user wrote, 'This is a different level of motivation!" 'Snakes can't be pets, and it is poisonous and can cause fatality. Awareness is needed among the public to minimise human snake interactions," an individual commented. While the elderly woman is seen calmly holding the snake, we strongly advise our audience not to attempt this under any circumstances. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
