Flights which exit the runway during takeoff or landing are known as runway exits. Last month, an Alliance Air flight left Mumbai for Gujarat's Bhuj without its engine cover, which fell off the runway at Mumbai airport. There was no threat to the passengers' safety.
Air traffic control sounded an alert when the engine cowl came off. The pilot was unaware of that alert and landed safely at Bhuj. The flight carried more than 60 passengers.
