On 1 July, a SpiceJet Boeing 737-800 (VT-SYK) operated domestic flight SG6237 from Jaipur to Mumbai, India. The aircraft, however, ran off the runway upon arrival at Mumbai airport during heavy rainfall. All passengers safely evacuated the aircraft. A first assessment indicate that the nose gear might have been collapsed after the impact.
The aircraft – formerly operating for Jet Airways – blocked Mumbai airport’s main runway, hence many aircraft were forced to enter the holding or to divert to nearby airports.
