Overview
- Ariana Afghan flight FG 311 from Kabul touched down around 12:07 pm Sunday on a Delhi IGI runway typically reserved for takeoffs.
- Reports conflict on conditions at touchdown, with Aaj Tak saying no other aircraft were queued and Zee News citing a DGCA official who said another jet was on the runway.
- The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has opened a probe into air-traffic coordination and responsibility for the wrong-runway landing.
- Zee News reports ATC cleared FG 311 for Runway 29L and the captain acknowledged only that clearance, yet the aircraft landed on 29R.
- The pilot reported losing ILS guidance in low visibility and conducting a visual approach, and authorities are examining any equipment issues as IGI’s runway roles can shift with operations and wind.
