An unstabilised approach and inappropriate handling of the aircraft by the flight crew led to the crash landing of a VSR Ventures Learjet 45XR at Mumbai airport in September 2023, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has concluded in its final report.

The report identified non-adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs), marginal weather conditions and the crew’s decision to continue the approach as key factors behind the accident.
