The four-year-old aircraft had around 70 passengers on board and the flight made a safe landing at Bhuj after losing the engine cowl at Mumbai runway.

A bizarre and dangerous incident occurred at the Mumbai Airport when a fight carried off without the engine cover; the engine cover fell on the runway when the flight carried off.
An Alliance Air flight took off from the Mumbai airport without its engine cowl (cover), which fell off on the runway. The flight was destined to fly from Mumbai to Bhuj airport. “Alliance Air was prepared to fly from Mumbai to Bhuj.
In contrast, the aircraft`s engine cowl fell on the runway and took off without an engine cover,” a Mumbai airport source revealed in his report.

“The flight landed safely at Bhuj airport. While the aircraft’s engine cowl fell on the runway and took off without an engine cover,” a Mumbai airport source said in his report. “The flight landed safely at Bhuj airport. An investigation has begun against the airlines,” a DGCA official said in his report.
Soon after the flight took off from Mumbai, the Mumbai Air traffic controller (ATC) said the problem. Mumbai ATC expressed that “Engine Cowling has been found on the runway side after takeoff. It seemed to be from ATR aircraft VT-RKJ at BOM, operating 91-625(BOM-BHJ).

“It was said by Mumbai ATC that Engine Cowling has been seen on runway side after takeoff. It seemed to be from ATR aircraft VT-RKJ at BOM which was operating 91-625(BOM-BHJ). The aircraft is still in continuation of flight,” Mumbai airport official informed soon after the cowl was found.
Captain Amit Singh, an aviation expert, blamed poor maintenance work for the incident. “Incidents of cowl separation usually occur post maintenance activity if latches are not secured. The crew is also expected to ensure that the engine cowl is sited before commencing the flight,” he told.
