The Air India Express flight from Tiruchirapalli to Sharjah landed safely at Tiruchirapalli airport after experiencing issues with its landing gear, said the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) monitored the situation, and the airport was put on alert mode during the incident.

"The Air India Express Flight IX 613 from Tiruchirapalli to Sharjah has landed safely at Tiruchirapalli airport. DGCA was monitoring the situation. The landing gear was opening. The flight has landed normally. The airport was put on alert mode," MoCA

Previously it was reported that the flight experienced a technical problem (hydraulic failure) and was circling in the air to burn off fuel before it could make the landing attempt at Trichy airport, said Airport Director Gopalakrishnan.

To ensure safety, over 20 ambulances and fire tenders were kept on standby at the airport, Gopalakrishnan added.

Further details are awaited. (ANI)
