| 2008-03-27 |
| BANGALORE: A small aircraft of Kingfisher Airlines, with 24 passengers on board, on a flight to Hyderabad got stuck on the runway at the airport on Thursday, while preparing for take-off after its nose-wheel hit a jackal which strayed into the area. All the passengers are safe and evacuated but the nose-wheel has been damaged. The turbo-prop ATR aircraft (flight no IT 2427) slid on its belly, airport sources said. There were no reports of injuries to any passenger in the incident which halted movement of flights in and out of Bangalore as the runway was blocked by the stranded aircraft. |
