Three Air India aircraft parked at Terminal 2 of Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport were damaged after strong winds and heavy rainfall displaced ground support equipment. The incident occurred during severe weather conditions that affected airport operations across the national capital region. Airport authorities and airline officials quickly responded to assess the situation and ensure safety measures were in place.
According to officials, powerful winds caused ground handling equipment to move from its designated position and collide with the parked aircraft. Following the incident, technical teams were deployed to inspect the affected planes and determine the extent of the damage. Detailed examinations are being carried out to ensure that all safety standards are met before the aircraft are cleared for service.
The incident also disrupted flight operations, resulting in delays for some passengers. Air India stated that the safety of passengers and crew remains its highest priority and that all necessary inspections are being conducted. The airline added that the affected aircraft will return to service only after receiving the required safety clearances and completing any necessary repairs. Meanwhile, airport authorities continue to monitor the situation and work towards maintaining normal operations despite the weather-related challenges.
