NEW DELHI: A powerful jet blast from a taxiing widebody aircraft sent a baggage trolley crashing into a plane parked at Mumbai airport recently. The incident happened last Tuesday (April 11) when an Emirates aircraft was taxiing out to take off for Dubai. Its jet blast sent an OAG baggage trolley crashing into a SpiceJet Boeing B737 (VT-SZN) parked on stand R1R. “The aircraft was released to service after the replacement of the damaged part,” said people in the know.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation is examining this latest incident caused by jet blast. A SpiceJet spokesperson confirmed the same. “An OAL baggage trolley hit the right side wing to body fairing panel due to the jet blast of an aircraft while taxing out,” he said.
