Air India flight makes emergency landing at Kozhikode after bird hit
Kozhikode: A Dubai-bound Air India flight with 148 passengers on board landed under emergency conditions at the Karipur International Airport soon after it took off, after being hit by a bird.
The Airbus A-321 flight with six crew members on board took off at 10 am before a bird hit the right engine, bending its blades under the impact.
Airport sources said that the flight, carrying a full fuel load, dumped fuel into the sea and returned within 40 minutes.
All passengers and crew members are safe and have been accommodated in nearby hotels, they said.
Engineers are examining the flight and are rectifying the fault, they added.
