Disaster averted at Mumbai airport after Air India, AI Express come face-to-face

A potential aviation disaster was averted at Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport on July 7 when an Air India flight preparing for takeoff collided with an Air India Express aircraft that had just landed on the same runway. The incident occurred around 10 p.m., with the Air India flight bound for Delhi beginning its takeoff roll while the Air India Express plane was still on the runway after landing from Siliguri. Air traffic control intervened, instructing the Air India crew to abort the takeoff. Air India confirmed the aborted takeoff in a statement, noting the aircraft would undergo inspections before resuming service. The airline expressed regret for the disruption and assured passengers that safety remained its top priority. No injuries or damage were reported, though the exact cause of the conflict remains unclear.
