The flight operates daily from Monday to Saturday. It took off from the Jaipur International Airport around 4 pm and the mishap occurred around 5.30 pm. People rushed from nearby areas to the spot.
Pilots have reported the plane overshot due to the presence of birds on the runway. DGCA (Air Safety) has been informed and they shall further investigate for facts, according to Ammeet K Agarwal, president and CEO of Supreme Airlines.
Any other news of fire or damage is hoax and there’s no reason to panic, the CEO added.
