The flight AI 2910, which was operated with an A320-neo aircraft, had an unstabilised approach due to which the landing had to be aborted initially, one of the sources said.

"The aircraft touched down, but took off and started flying again. The pilot announced that some landing parameters were not achieved, so the aircraft was doing a go-around. After the go-around, the aircraft landed back safely in Delhi," a passenger, who was on board the flight, told PTI.
