Meanwhile, the delay comes after Mumbai was lashed out by heavy monsoon showers. Because of rains, a SpiceJet Boeing 777 aircraft skidded off the main runway on landing and veered on the soft ground.  The stranded plane has blocked the main runway, forcing authorities to reschedule and delay flights.

"The operations from the main runway remained suspended even Thursday due to the stranded SpiceJet plane. However, the process to retrieve the plane from there is on. It is likely to be towed Friday," a News18 source said.
