Guwahati: An IndiGo flight from Assam's Jorhat to Kolkata on Thursday was cancelled after the aircraft skidded off the runway during take-off and a pair of its wheels got stuck in the muddy outfield.
While taxiing for take-off on the runway, the aircraft's wheels veered off the tarmac and were stuck in the soft mud in a field beside the runway, the airlines said.
"IndiGo flight 6E-757 operating from Jorhat to Kolkata returned back to the bay. While taxiing out, the pilot was advised that one of the main wheel, had partially run over the grass adjacent to the taxiway," IndiGo said.
A Twitter user uploaded a picture showing an aircraft, which apparently skidded off the runway and one pair of wheels got stuck in the soft grassy outfield. (UNI)
