Plane had a technical snag before

On its onward journey to Dubai, passengers of the aircraft had complained about Air India Express flight IX-812 having some technical problem.

“We had experienced some kind of shaky landing when the same aircraft landed at Dubai on Friday. We enquired about it with pilot Z Jeosica. He said he suspected some kind of a technical snag while landing as the aircraft lost height and had trouble in braking,” said CH Pramod Kumar, relative of a passenger who had travelled by the same aircraft on Friday.

K Lakshmana called ‘DNA’ from Dubai to say that the aircraft had a troublesome landing in Dubai.

“My relatives said that the captain himself was unable to understand the problem with the aircraft. He should have reported this matter to the ground handling guys in Dubai to rectify the problem,” he said.
