Then, the ground staff tells us that chocks have been placed and we release the parking brake. NEW DELHI: A Jet Airways aircraft rolled back after reaching its parking stand at IGI on Friday afternoon just when passengers had unbuckled their seat belts and were getting up to alight from the Boeing 737. The airline regrets any inconvenience caused to its guests.”A senior Boeing 737 commander said, “Once the aircraft reaches its parking bay and stop, we set the parking brake and shut down the engine. However, chocks — triangular-shaped wedges kept closely against wheels to prevent accidental movement — were possibly not placed behind wheels and the aircraft rolled back about 10 feet.

NEW DELHI: A Jet Airways aircraft rolled back after reaching its parking stand at IGI on Friday afternoon just when passengers had unbuckled their seat belts and were getting up to alight from the Boeing 737. A stepladder was being aligned to the B737, which had flown in from Jodhpur, when the plane rolled back, possibly due to chocks not having been put in front of and behind the wheels to prevent any accidental movement. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has grounded both the pilots of flight 9W 732 pending a probe to find out whether this was caused due to human error or a parking brake malfunction.This rare episode took place when the B737 (VT-JBU) came to its allocated parking stand at 2.21pm. “Passengers got up from their seats to leave the plane. However, chocks — triangular-shaped wedges kept closely against wheels to prevent accidental movement — were possibly not placed behind wheels and the aircraft rolled back about 10 feet. When this happened, passengers were asked to be seated again,” a source said.The aircraft’s emergency chute got deployed. Once the plane was parked with the chocks in place and the inflated chute removed, passengers alighted from the aircraft using the stepladder.A Jet spokesperson said: “An emergency door slide of Jet Airways flight 9W 732 from Jodhpur to Delhi was inadvertently deployed as the aircraft came to a stop upon arrival at its bay. All 170 guests and crew on board the aircraft were safely deplaned. The matter has been reported to DGCA and investigations are currently under way. The airline regrets any inconvenience caused to its guests.”A senior Boeing 737 commander said, “Once the aircraft reaches its parking bay and stop, we set the parking brake and shut down the engine. Then, the ground staff tells us that chocks have been placed and we release the parking brake. At this stage, we cannot say who is at fault or what caused the issue.”
