Helpline numbers for Air India flight IX-812

Mumbai, May 22 (IANSS) Air India has set up the following helpline numbers for queries on its IX-812 Flight that crashed Saturday morning killing at least 158 people.

“To assist us in continuing to help those most affected by this accident, we request that relatives and close friends only contact our following telephone numbers so that communication lines are open to those who need it the most,” the airline said in a statement.

Bangalore Helpline: +91-080-66785172 and 080-22273310

Mumbai Helpline: +91-022-2279 6161

Dubai Airport: +00971-4-2165828/29

“Air India is extending all its support to the emergency services and other agencies that are associated with this emergency. A team has been rushed to Mangalore,” the airline said.

“Air India shall provide all assistance and cooperation to the regulatory authorities that will investigate the accident.”

A Mangalore-bound Air India Express plane overshot the runway at Bajpe Airport in Mangalore at 6.30 am this morning. At least 160 passengers are feared dead. Initial reports say six people have survived the mishap. All the injured were taken to government hospitals.

The Boeing-737, IX 812 coming from Dubai burst into flames soon after it overshot the runway while landing at the airport, said eye witnesses. The plane, manned by a Russian expat pilot reportedly landed 2000 feet from touchdown point.

As many as 25 ambulances and firefighters reached the spot to help rescue operations. Karnataka home minister VS Acharya told a TV channel: “There were 169 passengers on board, including four infants. Six or seven of them may have survived.”

Rescue operations at the site are almost over and there are no chances of any more survivors. Rescue operators who have braved bad weather and a hilly terrain said, most of the bodies were charred beyond recognition making it difficult to identify the dead.

Abdul Putter, one of the survivors of this tragedy, lives to tell the gory tale. Reports say, another passenger, Pradeep, a technician who works in Dubai, jumped out of the plane and helped save two others. In his account to a TV channel, Pradeep said, “Everything was normal till touchdown. Then the plane started shaking and before long, it burst into flames and broke into two. I jumped into a ditch. The local villagers helped us a lot, till the ambulance came in about 15 minutes. I can’t believe I’m still alive.”

Aviation experts say that landing an aircraft in the Table Top airport in Mangalore requires special skills. The Boeing 737 is equipped with enough gadgets for a safe landing, so speculation is that human error maybe the cause of the accident. Experts also argue that if the visibility was poor, the pilot could have taken the aircraft up again and hovered around the airport till the visibility improved. But since the blackbox hasn’t yet been recovered, the exact cause of the crash remains unknown.

The Met department has confirmed that visibility was clear and weather conditions perfect for landing.

Air India is confirming the identities of the dead. AI Director Anup Srivastava said there were 160 passengers, including infants and 6 crew members on board.

Sonia Gandhi and Karnataka CM have condoled the death of the passengers. UPA has cancelled its anniversary celebrations.

The helpline numbers are: 01125656196,01125603101, Mangalore: 0824-2220424, KMC hospital, Mangalore: 2444777, Air India Dubai airport numbers: 00971-4-2165828/29
