Mumbai: In what could have led to a major disaster, an Air India plane aborted landing at the Mumbai airport at the last minute after an alert ATC spotted a Jet Airways aircraft on the air strip.

The incident happened at 11.45 pm on Wednesday night, reports said.

The Air India plane had been cleared to land at the runway by the ATC, while at the same time a Jet Airways flight was also preparing to take off from the same air strip.

The ATC spotted the Jet plane and swiftly asked the pilot of the AI flight to abort landing and go around the airport.

The Air India flight aborted landing but why was the Jet Airways flight allowed to take off, the fligth should have been grounded till the reason for the mix up was found out and who was responsible. These are now regularly happening in Mumbai and may one day lead to a major disaster.
