According to the reports, there was a miscommunication with the Air Traffic Control.
The IndiGo flight had arrived from Lucknow and was moving towards the taxiway while the SpiceJet flight was about to take off.
“An Indigo flight 6C-729 which was coming from Lucknow to Delhi with 176 passengers on board, post landing on the taxi way saw a SpiceJet aircraft in front of it,” Indigo spokesperson Ajay Jesra said.
“The incident occurred on Tuesday morning and the matter has been reported to Air Traffic Control (ATC) and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA),” Jesra said.
Meanwhile, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered probe into the incident.
This is the second airport runway fiasco reported this morning.
In Goa, a Jet Airways flight skidded and took a 360-degree spin on the runway just before take-off. Some passengers were reportedly injured while being moved out of the plane on emergency slides.
