An Air India Express flight with 190 people on board skidded off a runway, leaving more than a dozen people dead.
The Associated Press reports that the landing, which split the aircraft in two, took place in heavy rain in southern India and left at least 16 people dead and 123 injured.
Rajiv Jain, a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Ministry, said no fire was reported on the Boeing 737 aircraft after it landed and broke into two pieces. It was a repatriation flight carrying Indian citizens back to the country, officials said. Regular commercial flights have been halted in India because of the coronavirus outbreak.
Amitabh Kant, who heads the government's planning commission, said the runway is on a hilltop with deep gorges on either side, making it difficult to land.
