Dr Jonny Williams, a researcher in climate impact impacts on aviation at the 桃色视频, said: “It is standard procedure for airlines to balance the payload on all flights, to take into account the length and angle of runways, and atmospheric conditions. This includes the weight of passengers and crew, baggage, freight and aviation fuel. It's one of the reasons why airlines weigh your bags that go into the hold and operate limits on cabin baggage size.
“The runway at Ahmedabad is 3.5km, and airport runways are designed to have additional length to allow extra space for take-offs and landings to occur safely. If there is any danger that an aircraft can’t take off, due to load or atmospheric conditions, then they are not allowed to fly.
“Hot weather does increase the take-off distance required and therefore the amount of runway needed for take-off, and these calculations are considered as standard on every flight. The current temperature in Ahmedabad, of around 39 degrees C, is about average for this time of year in that region. Air India is a major international airline with a strong safety record and long experience of operating in these conditions.”
Professor Paul Williams, Professor of Atmospheric Science in the Department of Meteorology at the 桃色视频 said: "At the time of the departure, the weather conditions at the airport appear to have been very good. It was a dry and sunny day in Ahmedabad, with temperatures near 40°C. There was good visibility and light winds from the west. There was no bad weather in the vicinity. There is no indication at this stage that turbulence or other weather conditions were a factor in the crash."
