Around 174 passengers on board a GoAir Delhi-Patna-Delhi flight had a narrow escape when the aircraft suffered a bird hit at the time of landing at the Jai Prakash Narayan International (JPNI) airport here late on Tuesday evening.
The Airbus A320 Neo aircraft was grounded late Tuesday evening after sensor attached to landing gear number one (rear wheel) was damaged in the bird hit, said people in the know of the incident at the Patna airport. The sensor allows a pilot to know in the cockpit whether the landing gear is undocked.
