Dubai flight with 185 people skids off runway
The aircraft skidded to the right momentarily after touch down but got back to the center line thereafter
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
An Air India Express flight from Dubai to Mangalore 'momentarily' skidded off the runway due to poor weather conditions, according to Indian media outlets.
The pilots of the flight - IX814 - were able to bring the Boeing 737 back to the runway's centre line after it skidded. No damage to the plane was reported, and none of the passengers were injured. The Times of India reports that several runway lights were broken in the incident.
The flight was reportedly carrying 185 people - including two infants - when the incident took place.
"Just as the aircraft was about to touch down, there was sudden gust of wind and heavy rain. The aircraft skidded to the right momentarily after touch down but got back to the center line thereafter," Air India Express CEO Shyam Sundar was quoted as saying by TOI. "There was no discomfort or injury to any passenger. Post arrival inspection of the aircraft revealed no damages."

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
