A private jet with eight people onboard veered off the runway at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International airport followed by a crash on Thursday while landing amid heavy rain. According to the airport authority, eight people, including a crew member, have suffered injuries and were taken to nearest hospital.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said the aircraft skidded off the runaway due to poor visibility following heavy rain.
A video clip has been released which shows murky grey skies filled the airspace above the airport and the aircraft lying wrecked on the sidelines of the runway. Fire engines and airport rescue team could also be seen present at the spot.
