There were 51 members onboard including 47 passengers. No injuries were reported.
The flight was scheduled to land in Chennai at 5:45 pm but the plane's second engine failed at the time of the landing, causing the pilot to declare an emergency. The plane finally landed at 6:26 pm.
On Monday, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) ordered for an investigation.
