Rahul Gandhi's Air India Flight Performs Go-Around Amid Gusty Winds at Lucknow Airport
Passengers panicked after the pilot aborted the first landing because of gusty winds, and the Air India flight completed a safe second approach.
- On Tuesday, Air India flight AI-1717 carrying Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi aborted its landing at Lucknow's Amausi Airport before landing safely on a second approach. The aircraft experienced a strong jolt while nearing the runway, prompting the pilot to climb back to a safe altitude.
- Sources attributed the aborted landing to gusty winds that forced the pilot to discontinue the initial approach. A go-around is a standard aviation procedure in which pilots climb to safe altitude before attempting another landing.
- Following the safe arrival, Gandhi began a two-day visit to Raebareli, where Congress workers and district administration officials prepared for his meetings with local traders and constituents.
- Separately, the Bombay High Court refused to quash summons against Gandhi in a defamation case over remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Justice Borkar dismissed the petition but deferred proceedings for six weeks.
- On September 9, Gandhi will attend a meeting of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee , continuing his engagement with constituents during his regional visit.
