Kozhikode crash: Plane landed 1,000 metres from beginning of runway

The Air India Express plane, carrying 190 people from Dubai, on Friday touched down near a taxiway that is around 1,000 metres from the beginning of the runway at the Kozhikode airport before breaking up into two pieces, according to AAI. The pilot of the ill-fated flight -- IX-1344 -- could not sight the table-top runway in the first landing attempt due to heavy rains.
