IndiGo plane hits runway even as Air India aircraft was taking off; DGCA orders probe

An IndiGo aircraft landed on the runway while an Air India flight was taking off, narrowly breaching safety margins. The Air India plane lifted off just moments before the IndiGo jet touched down, with only about 2,100 feet separating the two. At the busy Mumbai airport, standard procedure requires that the departing aircraft must lift off and clear the end of the runway before the landing aircraft can cross the runway threshold and touch down.
