MUMBAI: A Raipur-bound IndiGo plane from Kolkata carrying 167 passengers, including the Delhi Daredevils IPL team, vacated the runway in the “nick of time” as another flight, a Jet Airways plane from Mumbai had landed on the same runway by that time, avoiding a possible mishap, sources said.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has launched a probe into the incident, which happened Friday morning, they said.
“During taxiing, another aircraft was landing, so our plane had to take a right turn. There was absolutely no panic among our players,” a DD team official told PTI here.
Raipur is the second home ground of the GMR group-owned Delhi DareDevils team in the Indian Premier League. The team is set to play a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad tomorrow.(PTI)
