On May 18, 2024, an Air India Express flight IX 1132 took off from Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) bound for Cochin International Airport (COK) in Kerala. The Airbus A320 was 10 years old, registered as VT-ATF, departed more than an hour late at 22:59 against a scheduled departure of 21:45. However, shortly after take-off, flames erupted from the right engine, creating a tense situation for passengers and crew. The cockpit crew responded promptly, initiating an immediate turnaround back to Bengaluru airport. A full-scale emergency was declared, and the fire was swiftly extinguished upon landing. Remarkably, all 179 passengers and 6 crew members were successfully evacuated from the aircraft without any reported injuries. Passengers praised the flight crew’s responsible actions during the crisis. One passenger shared, “They were very responsible. They assisted us in exiting. They did everything possible in one minute to rescue us. We are grateful to them.” Source: Mint Air India Express organised alternate travel arrangements for the passengers to reach Kochi. However, some inconveniences related to baggage arose. While passengers received their hand baggage, some check-in luggage remained undelivered. However, Air India assured passengers that their missing checked bags would be delivered to their home addresses.
