CHENNAI: A Kingfisher aircraft from Colombo that ran out of fuel landed on a runway closed for maintenance at Chennai airport, on Tuesday. The plane, carrying 132 passengers and six crew members, was scheduled to land at 4.30 pm. But its pilot took special permission from Air Traffic Control (ATC) for the early landing .
A senior AAI official said the pilot of the plane reported the fuel crisis to the ATC and asked for permission to make an early landing.
The ATC officials gave the permission and immediately alerted officials at the apron area, where the runway maintenance work was under way," the official said.
"The permission to land was given because the aircraft had no fuel to make several rounds above the Chennai region till 4.30 pm," he added. Airport director EP Hareendranath said that it was a safe landing and that all security measures were in place. The runways at the Chennai airport runways are closed from 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm on Tuesdays and Saturdays for routine maintenance work.
Soon after the message from the ATC, a senior airport official said, the ongoing maintenance work on the runway was stopped at 4.15pm and all the workers were evacuated. The official spokesperson of Kingfisher Airlines said an investigation had been launched into the matter.
