Overview

  • Air India Express confirmed the Boeing 737 executed a go-around on its first landing approach at Gwalior Airport and subsequently touched down safely with normal operations resumed.
  • Gwalior Airport technical staff inspected the aircraft post-landing and reported no mechanical faults, with the airport director describing a failed first touchdown as routine.
  • Several passengers described violent shaking and a pronounced tilt during the go-around, claiming life jackets deployed unexpectedly and causing widespread alarm.
  • Dozens of travellers have formally complained to airline and airport officials, alleging initial unresponsiveness and pressing for explanations of the manoeuvre.
  • No regulator has announced a separate investigation into this specific landing, although the episode follows intensified safety oversight across Indian carriers after recent Boeing-related incidents.
