Passengers of a Chandigarh-Ahmedabad IndiGo flight were left startled when their aircraft abruptly ascended shortly after making contact with the runway at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
Sharing the ordeal with News 18, one of the passengers said they were left bewildered by the unexpected touchdown-takeoff sequence.
The plane started to descend at about 8:45 pm but as soon as its wheels touched the runway, the pilot suddenly pulled up and the plane was airborne again, he said.
The passenger added he even asked the pilot about the incident and was told that it was a routine communication issue and the airline didn’t have ATC clearance to land the aircraft.
