Kuwait City – Press Trust of India said a Kuwait Airways flight carrying 161 passengers landed off the centre from the runway at the international airport in Kochi as sudden downpour caused visibility problems.
Quoting an airport source, it said that the aircraft landed at 4:20am, but a little off the centre of the runway, making contact with the lights at the edge before taxiing to the parking bay.
Flight operations were disrupted for a brief time and resumed minutes after 'cleaning and correcting' the runway lights.
