Deora also called for a review and reinforcement of existing safety protocols to mitigate risks associated with runway congestion and ensure robust mechanisms are in place to prevent similar incidents in the future. "When I raised the alarm from 2013 onwards, the general manager of ATC in Mumbai stopped informing me about such go-arounds and other air safety incidents at Mumbai airport," Narsimhan said.
