A flight from Bhubaneswar to New Delhi returned minutes after take-off and made an emergency landing after the aircraft was caught in a hailstorm and suffered damage on Wednesday, an official said.
The 169 passengers and crew on board are safe.
The New Delhi-bound Vistara flight landed back at the Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA) here barely 10 minutes after taking off, the officials said.
According to preliminary information, the aircraft’s windshield developed a crack due to the hailstorm that lashed several parts of Odisha this afternoon.
