The pilot of a city-bound Singapore Airlines flight with 245 passengers and 14 crew members onboard was forced to discontinue the approach to landing and do a "go-around". The flight finally landed at the assigned runway nine minutes behind the scheduled time. The airline, in a statement attributed the incident to "poor" visibility while an Air Traffic Control (ATC) source said that the go-around took place as the pilot mistook the Juhu airport runway for the assigned runway 09 of the Chhtarapati Shivaji International airport (CSIA). The ATC's charge has been denied by the airline.
