Shimla: A major accident was narrowly avoided at Himachal Pradesh capital Shimla’s Jubberhati Airport on Monday (March 24, 2025) morning when an Alliance Air flight from Delhi had to be stopped using emergency brakes during landing.
Reports suggest that the aircraft landed midway on the runway, prompting immediate safety measures.
Himachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri and Director General of Police (DGP) Atul Verma were on board the flight at the time of the incident.
The aircraft did not veer off the runway, preventing what could have been a serious disaster. However, the impact of the abrupt landing caused one of the plane’s tyres to burst.
In the wake of the incident, the authorities decided to cancel the next scheduled flight to Dharamshala as a precautionary measure. The reason behind the aircraft’s partial-runway landing remains unclear, and technical teams are currently investigating possible mechanical faults.
Further details are awaited as aviation officials continue their probe into the incident.
