A recent Air India flight from Thiruvananthapuram to Delhi, carrying prominent figures including MP K.C. Venugopal, was diverted to Chennai due to technical difficulties. The flight experienced significant delays and turbulence. During the initial landing attempt at Chennai Airport, the Air Traffic Control (ATC) issued a ‘go around’ instruction. This critical decision was made because another aircraft was occupying the runway. The pilot’s swift response prevented a potential accident, allowing the aircraft to ascend and subsequently attempt a safe landing. The term ‘go around’ is a crucial safety protocol in aviation, implemented to avoid accidents during landing.
