- Date: July 1, 2007
- Aircraft: ATR72-200
- Location: Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India
- Fatalities: 0

- Cause: The pilot-in-command, lacking bounce recovery guidance, used a self-devised technique of adding power and pitch inputs to recover from the bounces, which gravely damaged the aircraft structure.
A Jet Airways ATR 72 landed at Indore after a flight from Bhopal and bounced hard, with a series of further bounces. The crew kept adding power and pitching the aircraft to recover, which damaged the airframe. The aircraft left the runway and stopped near the boundary wall. All 53 occupants got out without injury, and there was no fire.
