CCTV visuals show Gulf Air flight landed outside runway

KOCHI: Flight schedules are returning to full scale mode at the Cochin International Airport on Tuesday morning after the slush-stuck Gulf Air flight GF 270 was removed from the runway on Tuesday morning.

The Gulf Air flight, an airbus 320, skidded off the runway at the Cochin International Airport on 3.55 am on Monday, injuring seven passengers and throwing domestic and international flight schedules from Kerala's busiest airport out of kilter.

Meanwhile, sources told TOI that CCTV visuals showed that the GF270 landed outside the runway and suggested that poor visibility would have played a part in it. The airport authorities have asked the pilot and the crew not to leave the country till the investigations into the mishap are completed.
