The backdrop

The move comes in the backdrop of multiple aircraft landing incidents reported from various airports during the Monsoon season. Earlier this month, the runway at Mumbai airport was shut for over three days after a SpiceJet plane from Jaipur veered off it while landing amid heavy rainfall and then got stuck in the adjacent grass area.
