Air India says one engine on crashed plane was new
Air India has revealed that one of the engines on the flight that crashed in southern India was a new one. The plane, a Boeing 737, was carrying 190 people and crashed at Calicut International Airport in Kerala on Friday. The airline stated that the engine had only been in use for 17 hours at the time of the accident.
The tragic incident resulted in the deaths of at least 18 people, including the pilot and co-pilot. The aircraft overshot the runway during heavy rain and fell into a valley, breaking into two pieces upon impact.
