Air India plane skids off runway at Mumbai airport, pictures show damage. What happened exactly?
The incident reportedly occurred at 9:27 am when Air India flight AI-2744 landed at the Mumbai airport. The aircraft touched down on Runway 27 but failed to remain on the runway during deceleration.
The plane overshot the main runway. After landing near the touchdown zone, it reportedly veered 16 to 17 metres off the runway. The aircraft then ran into an unpaved area and onto a taxiway before coming to a halt, the Times of India (TOI) reported.
The Air India plane then returned safely and taxied normally to the parking stand.
An airline spokesperson said the aircraft taxied safely and all passengers as well as crew members have disembarked.
A few pictures showed some damage to the aircraft following the incident. However, sources told TOI that the aircraft was not disabled and was able to taxi to a parking bay.
The Air India spokesperson said that the incident happened when the plane from Kochi attempted landing at the Mumbai airport amid heavy rainfall on July 21, 2025, which eventually led to a "runway excursion."
"Flight AI2744, operating from Kochi to Mumbai on July 21, 2025, experienced heavy rain during landing, resulting in a runway excursion after touchdown," the spokesperson was quoted by news agency PTI as saying.
Besides, sources told TOI that three tyres of the aircraft burst during the runway excursion. Meanwhile, a Firstpost report suggested "potential engine damage from the suction of debris."

Boulder crushes car, kills man; JCB operator plunges to death in HP; state's monsoon toll now 184
1 2 Kullu: Landslides and rock falls have claimed two more lives in Himachal Pradesh in the last 24 hours, taking the toll to 182. Both deaths happened in Shimla district. A boulder slammed on a car near Gallu Dagri village in Sunni area around 11am on Sunday, crushing it and grievously injuring its three occupants. They were taken to hospital where Lekhraj, 37, was declared dead. The two others are under treatment. The previous night, JCB operator Dinesh, 55, was working an excavator machine to clear a landslide on NH-5 when the land suddenly gave way under him. He and the machine plunged over 300 metres in Kumarsain area on Saturday evening. Around 100 metres into the gorge, he was flung out of the machine and killed instantly. Battered by relentless rain and cloudbursts, the state has suffered losses worth nearly Rs 1715 crore. Around 300 roads remained blocked on Sunday, and power and water supply were disrupted in many areas of Himachal Pradesh. A flash flood washed away a bridge connecting Lahaul Spiti with Chamba district early Sunday morning. Besides cutting off the Pangi region of Chamba, the lack of road connectivity directly impacted hundreds of residents of Tindi and Salgran panchayats, where crops are ready for harvesting. The Chandigarh-Manali highway was also closed for around an hour after a landslide and rockfall at Jogini Mod near Pandoh.

Jewellery care 101: How to protect your pieces during the monsoon
(Image Credits: Pinterest) Rain might set the mood, but your jewellery doesn't share the sentiment. Moisture, humidity, and pollution don't just dull the shine; they can loosen settings, cause tarnishing, and damage delicate stones. That doesn't mean you need to stop wearing your favourites until the skies clear. It just means learning to wear, store, and clean them wisely. From everyday studs to festive chokers, here's how to keep your jewellery looking its best this monsoon. Humidity is the real problem It's not the rain; it's the moisture in the air that causes damage. Silver, uncut stones, and anything antique can get tarnished, rusted, or just lose their shine. Easiest fix? Store everything in a dry spot, and throw in a few silica gel packets or charcoal pouches to soak up the humidity. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Use zip-locks or pouches Each piece deserves its own space. A zip-lock bag or soft pouch protects it from moisture, scratches, and tangling, especially helpful for chains or stone-studded jewellery. Wrap heirlooms properly Older pieces of jewellery featuring enamel, kundan, or intricate detailing need extra attention. Wrap them in muslin cloth or acid-free tissue before storing to avoid chemical reactions and keep them in pristine condition. 5 tips to take care of jewellery during monsoon Put jewellery on last If you're using perfume, hairspray, or makeup setting spray, do all of that before you wear your jewellery. These products leave a layer on your pieces that dulls the finish over time. Wipe it down after wearing At the end of the day, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft cloth before storing it.. This removes sweat, oil, or grime and helps maintain its sparkle. A small habit with a lasting impact. Pearls and silver need extra care Don't seal pearls in plastic; they need to breathe. Use a soft cloth pouch instead. Silver tends to tarnish quickly during this season, so keep it with anti-tarnish strips or polish it once in a while with a silver cloth. Keep a pouch in your bag In case you get caught in the rain, carry a soft-lined pouch in your bag. You can quickly remove rings or earrings to protect them. Most jewellery isn't rainproof, and frequent exposure can lead to lasting damage. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Get a professional cleanup The monsoon is a perfect time to visit your jeweller. Settings can loosen and clasps may weaken without your knowledge. A quick professional checkup can prevent a lost stone or broken chain down the line.
