- Date: November 10, 2009
- Aircraft: ATR72-200
- Location: Mumbai-Chhatrapati Shivaji (Santa Cruz), Maharashtra, India
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Unstabilised approach and the crew's decision not to go around, with water patches on the runway, the controller not relaying the aquaplaning report, and limited input from the copilot as contributing factors.
A Kingfisher ATR 72 flying from Bhavnagar landed on a restricted runway 27 at Mumbai in light rain, after an Air India jet had reported aquaplaning just before. The aircraft did not slow down despite reversers and manual braking, skidded off the side of the runway and came to rest in a wet area beyond it. Nobody was killed and all passengers left the aircraft normally.
