Collision averted between SpiceJet, Indigo planes at Ahmedabad airport

Deccan Chronicle  

Ahmedabad: A Delhi-bound plane of SpiceJet had to abort take-off at the last minute as an IndiGo flight could not clear the runway due to the presence of rabbits on the strip, averting a major mishap. "SpiceJet flight from Ahmedabad to Delhi, SG 912, was asked to enter backtrack runway and await departure clearance, pending runway clearance by an IndiGo flight. When contacted, a SpiceJet spokesperson said its flight had to abort take off at the last stage of taxiing due to the presence of another aircraft on the runway, while an IndiGo spokesperson said both aircraft were "well separated". As 6E-166 was vacating the strip, the flight crew observed some rabbits and stopped the aircraft, its nose in the taxiway and tail still on the runway," IndiGo said in the statement. "During this period, the ATC cleared another aircraft to line and take-off and was subsequently heard twice calling out 'hold position', realising that 6E-116 had not fully vacated the runway," it said.
