Bird strike detected after Air India aircraft from Delhi lands in Pune
Pune: A bird hit was detected on an Air India's Delhi-Pune flight after it landed in the city on Friday morning, prompting cancellation of the aircraft's return journey. The flight (AI-2469) — an Airbus A-320 — took off from Delhi at 5.24am instead of its scheduled time of 4.45am and landed at Pune airport with close to 100 flyers at 6.55am. Air India, grappling with multiple problems after the plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, confirmed the incident. A source in the airport said the right engine of the aircraft was hit. An Air India spokesperson told TOI, "Flight AI-2470, scheduled to operate from Pune to Delhi on June 20, has been cancelled because of a bird hit, detected after the incoming flight landed safely in Pune. The aircraft has been grounded to carry out extensive checks. Inconvenience caused to our passengers because of this unforeseen disruption is sincerely regretted and every effort is being made to minimise it, including providing accommodation to passengers. Refunds on cancellation or complimentary rescheduling are also being offered to guests who opt for it." The airline's spokesperson said, "Alternative arrangements are being made to fly the passengers to Delhi. At Air India, the safety of passengers and crew remains our top priority." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

"Apart from the official statement, we don't have anything more to say for now," another airline official said. A Delhi-bound flyer said he was at the airport when the Air India flight was suddenly cancelled. "It was supposed to take off at 7.40am and land in Delhi at 10am. I had an important meeting to attend in Delhi at 2pm. The airline cancelled the flight after suddenly stating that there was an operational issue, forcing me to take a last-minute flight of another airline to Delhi. I was initially angry, but was scared when I came to know about the bird strike incident," the Koregaon Park resident and a business executive with a company, said. Airport director Santosh Dhoke said, "We just got the information that the aircraft encountered a problem. Their (Air India) engineering department will look into details. We aren't allowed to go near the aircraft in such situations." A source in the airport said, "The DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) will conduct the investigation into the incident. They will look at all aspects, and are expected to talk to the pilots and the cabin crew." Captain Arpit Manshani, who flies both planes and choppers, said, "After a bird strike, the pilot in command is supposed to fill a 'bird strike form' and submit it to the internal safety department of the airline. They further report the incident to the DGCA. All these procedures are written in the operator's manuals. Depending on the severity of the strike, after landing, the engineering team does their checks as per their manuals and releases the aircraft again for service. "
