According to sources at the airport, the runway was cleared for the emergency landing, and the flight made it to the airport safely.
The 156 people traveling on board the Air India Express aircraft IX540 from Dubai to Thiruvananthapuram are fortunately all safe.
After the pilot called air traffic control to seek the landing due to a mechanical issue with the aircraft’s nose wheel, the aircraft made an emergency landing at 5:40 a.m. The airport promptly declared an “emergency” and made the required preparations after receiving the request.
According to the sources, it appears that the incident was brought on by a medical emergency aboard the airplane.
