Air India flight AI-1717, arriving from Delhi at Lucknow’s Amausi Airport, had to perform a go-around just before landing. It is reported that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was also on board. During the initial landing, the aircraft’s approach became unstable, forcing the pilot to abort the landing for safety reasons and re-elevate the aircraft for a new approach.
A go-around is a standard safety procedure used in aviation. When a pilot determines that a safe landing is impossible on the current approach, the aircraft is re-elevated and prepared for a new approach.
After the first attempt, the aircraft attempted a second approach to the Lucknow airport runway. AI-1717 landed safely on the second attempt. All passengers and crew on board are reported to be safe. It is reported that Rahul Gandhi also traveled from Delhi to Lucknow on this same flight. After the first landing attempt was unsuccessful, the situation returned to normal with the plane landing safely on the second attempt.
According to information, Air India flight AI-1717 departed from Delhi at around 2:20 pm and was scheduled to arrive in Lucknow at around 3:30 pm. During the first landing attempt, the plane had to perform a go-around due to an unstable approach, and subsequently landed safely on the second approach. According to currently available information, the incident was related to the safety procedures followed by the pilot. A go-around is a standard step taken to ensure a safe landing in the event of an unstable approach.
