PK Gorai, the airport director, stated the pilot identified the glitch along with a hydraulic leak.

Gorai added that they were trying to find out what went wrong. "This is a huge plane, and we have only one runway at our airport, which is presently blocked. So if this Air India flight does not operate, we have to cancel other flights for now."
