WATCH: Amid intense Cyclone Nisarga, FedEx flight veers off runaway while landing at Mumbai airport

The American logistics firm FedEx cargo aircraft skidded off the runway at Mumbai airport amid heavy rainfall as intense cyclonic storm Nisarga made landfall on the Maharashtra coast on Wednesday, NDTV reported.

The plane visuals vent viral on social media subsequently in which, under the flooding rainfall, the aircraft is seen coming to a stop on a wet runway while its massive landing gears displace water with a strong force, generating jets of water to rise several metres above the ground.

The MD-11 aircraft involved in the runway excursion incident, which happens when a plane leaves the runway in use during take-off or landing intentionally or unintentionally, was returning from Bengaluru.

"The plane has been towed away from the runway and the incident did not disrupt flights. After discussing with the Airports Authority of India, Mumbai airport decided not to operate flights till 6 pm today," the report underscored.

Fortunately, there was no damage reported from the incident but the Indian Civil Aviation Authority is probing into the matter.

As a result of the severe cyclonic storm, crosswinds and heavy rain could make landing and take-off tricky for pilots, who need to align their large passenger jets with the runway properly.

However, the storm is expected to weaken into a cyclone in a few hours. With wind speeds slowing down, the Indian city may have escaped the worst of the tropical storm.
