- Aircraft: Boeing 737-800
- Location: Mangalore-Bajpe, Karnataka, India
- Fatalities: 158
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The captain continued an unstabilized approach and landing despite repeated go-around calls and EGPWS warnings, with contributing fatigue and incomplete descent planning.
An Air India Express Boeing 737-800 flying Dubai to Mangalore landed long and fast on an unstabilized approach to a hilltop runway. Repeated first officer calls to go around, and EGPWS warnings, did not stop the landing, and the aircraft overran the runway and went down a gorge. 158 of the 166 people on board were killed.
