The drill was conducted in compliance with directives from the DGCA and the BCAS

- OUR CORRESPONDENT

KOLKATA: A full-scale emergency drill simulating an aircraft crash was recently conducted at Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, aiming to evaluate inter-agency coordination and the airport's disaster preparedness mechanisms.

The simulation involved a scenario where an Air India aircraft, suffering an engine failure during arrival, skidded off the runway amid heavy rainfall and caught fire beyond the airport boundary. Though no real aircraft was used in the exercise, the setup was designed to replicate the complexity and urgency of a real aviation emergency.
