At Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, a private plane carrying eight people—including crew members—skipped off the runway at approximately 5:02 p.m. on Thursday due to heavy downpour. The VSR Ventures Learjet 45, registered as VT-DBL, took off from Visakhapatnam.
Dhruv Kotak, Lars Sorensen, KK Krishnadas, Aakarsh Sethi, Arul Sali, and Kamakshi were the names of the eight passengers. Pilots Sunil and Neil were in charge of the flight at the time; however, they had suffered serious injuries and required immediate surgery.
The mishap, according to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), occurred because of poor visibility following significant rain.
