CSMIA, DGCA said plane veered off runway

It was being reported that the VSR Aviation Learjet 45 aircraft VT-DBL operating from Vizag-Mumbai had skidded off the runway at taxi way WHISKEY after landing due to heavy rains in the city and caught fire.

The jet caught fire after the crash but the blaze was doused immediately with the rain helping the cause. Visibility was down to just 700 meters due to the downpour at the time of the mishap.

"There are no casualties. CSMIA’s airside team is on-ground to assist with the clearance on-site," the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport said in a statement.
