Due to this monsoon on Fridays evening heavy rains, wet the track in Kerala and the track was slippery.The pilot and co-pilot were going for the runway 28, but the weather condition reduced the visibility of the runway.That,is why the pilot requested for the runway 10 but before that the aircraft almost down about the beyond the runway.Because of the slippery track, the aircraft couldn't to stop before the end of the tabletop runway and dive into the cliff.


Tabletop runway mainly located on the top of a plateau or a hill with both ends is contiguous to edge of a mountain which drops into a deep cliff.There are 4 tabletop runway in India -

  • Calicut International Airport (Kerala)
