The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has issued a circular regarding the glitch on the Mumbai airport runway stating that a preliminary investigation suggests a violation of rules. AAI began its investigation after a viral video from Mumbai airport showed an IndiGo aircraft landing just seconds after an Air India Airbus A320 lifted off the runway. Both aircraft had just 509 metres of separation. The preliminary investigation suggests that the Air India pilot and the ATC operator are at fault as the former spent a longer duration on the runway than he was supposed to.
