The show-cause notice noted cracks and excessive rubber deposits along the runway on which the AI Express plane crashed Friday, killing at least 18 people.
Kerala govt says 18 passengers have died so far. Of the 184 passengers, 54 were stranded tourists, 26 were returning due to loss of jobs, 28 had to return as their visa expired.
Residents in the area were among the first to respond to the accident, trying to rescue the injured and carting them to hospitals in cars by the time ambulances reached the spot.
The death toll in the accident went up to 17 after the Dubai-Calicut plane, which was a repatriation flight operated under the Vande Bharat mission, skid off the runway.
The crash Friday is the worst for Air India since May 2010, when a flight from Dubai overshot the runway at the Mangaluru airport and burst into flames. 158 people died.
There were 191 people on board the flight, including 174 passengers, 10 infants, 2 pilots and 5 cabin crew. The plane broke into 2 portions after falling down a valley.
