So far, it’s believed that the incident was caused by a “tailwind [and] a wet runway, in addition to inadequate braking action.”

Soon afterwards, reports of another passenger plane overshooting the runway came from Surat International Airport in the north-west. A regional SpiceJet flight from Bhopal also ended up in the grass shortly after landing, amid “heavy rain.”

Deaths or injuries were reportedly avoided in the second instance as well, but the operations of the airport might be affected, authorities warned.
