Heavy monsoon showers disrupted flight operations at Navi Mumbai International Airport after an IndiGo ATR aircraft was forced to abort its landing due to poor visibility.
As weather conditions deteriorated during the approach, the flight crew safely executed a go-around, a standard aviation safety procedure in which an aircraft discontinues its landing attempt and climbs away for another approach when conditions are not suitable.
The maneuver was carried out safely, with no injuries or incidents reported. Flight operations at the airport were impacted as heavy rainfall and reduced visibility affected arrival and departure schedules.
The incident highlights the operational challenges posed by the ongoing monsoon season, with airlines continuing to prioritize passenger and crew safety during adverse weather conditions.
