The right engine of a Bengaluru-bound GoAir flight caught a “small” fire at the Ahmedabad airport during take-off on Tuesday morning, which has been doused, the airline said. All the passengers and crew members on board GoAir flight G8 802 have been deplaned safely, a GoAir Spokesperson said in a statement.
The number of persons on board, however, could not be immediately known. “The right engine of GoAir flight G8 802 from Ahmedabad to Bengaluru is suspected to have suffered from a foreign object damage (FOD) while on take-off roll. The suspected FOD resulted in a small fire which has been doused,” the statement said.
