Air India Express said a Bengaluru–Gwalior flight landed “safely and uneventfully” on Saturday after performing a go-around at Gwalior Airport, but some passengers reportedly claimed the aircraft tilted to one side and shook violently during the first landing attempt.
According to those onboard, as per reports, the Boeing 737 descended at an unusually high speed on its second approach, causing panic among the 150 passengers, with some screaming in fear. Eyewitnesses alleged a possible technical issue with the aircraft, though the airline maintained there were “no issues” and that the crew’s actions were precautionary.
