  "account": "An Air India Express flight from Goa was forced to abort its landing at Kempegowda International Airport on Saturday due to a foreign object spotted on the runway. The flight, originally scheduled to touch down at 8.10 p.m., was instructed by Air Traffic Control (ATC) to make a turnaround once the ATC officials detected an unfamiliar object on the runway. Subsequent to a brief interval, the aircraft managed to land safely at the airport, according to sources. However, the nature of the foreign object remains unspecified.",
