CASE STUDY ON FLIGHT 812 OF AIR
INDIA EXPRESS

INCIDENT
Air India Express Flight 812 was a
scheduled international
flight from Dubai to Mangalore. On 22
May 2010, the Boeing 737-
800 passenger jet operating the flight,
crashed on landing at Mangalore. The
captain had continued an unstabilized
approach, despite three calls from
the first officer to initiate a “go-around”,
resulting in the aircraft overshooting the
runway, falling down a hillside, and
bursting into flames. Of the 166
passengers and crew on board, 158
were killed (all six crew members and
152 passengers); only eight survived.
This was the first fatal accident involving
Air India Express.

AIRCRAFT TO
CRASH
• After touching down on the 8,033-foot
(2,448 m) runway 24, the plane overran and
crashed down the hill at its far end. The final
conversations between air traffic control (ATC) and
the pilot prior to the landing showed no indication
of distress.
• The then-Civil Aviation Minister, Praful Patel, said
that the aircraft was following an instrument
landing system (ILS) approach for landing on the
newer, longer runway, which was commissioned in
2006. The pilot reported to ATC that it was
‘established’ on an ILS approach about 4.3 miles
(6.9 km) from touchdown; landing clearance was
then given at 2,000 feet (610 m) from touchdown.
The aircraft concluded its ILS approach on runway
24, touching down 5,200 feet (1,600 m) from the
start of the runway, leaving 2,800 feet (850 m) in
which to stop. It overran the runway and plowed
through a 90-meter (300 ft) sand arrestor bed,
which did not stop it.

are a major factor in
many aircraft accidents. Such was the
case with Air India Express Flight
812 which crashed during landing on
May 22, 2010. The accident
investigation revealed poor crew
communication while continuing an
unstabilized approach as contributing
factor. As a result, 158 occupants
perished when the Boeing 737-
800 overshot a runway in Mangalore,
India. This event has been classified
as the country’s third-deadliest
aviation disaster.
