SpiceJet flight collides with pole at IGIA
A SpiceJet flight on Monday collided with a pole at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in the national Capital on Monday, causing damage to both the plane and the pole. The collision occurred during pushback, that is, when the aircraft was being moved from the passenger terminal to the runway. None of the passengers were injured and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has begun an investigation into the matter.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft of SpiceJet was being pushed back Monday morning when its right wing hit the lightning pole in the apron area of the airport.
