The aircraft was operating IndiGo flight 6E925 from Patna to Lucknow. According to airport officials, the flight landed normally at around 4 pm. There were no reports of any problem during the landing or any injuries among passengers.
The damage to the aircraft’s nose section was noticed by the airport team after the aircraft had landed. The airport authorities then informed the IndiGo team about the damage.
Following the incident, the aircraft was declared Aircraft on Ground (AOG). This means the aircraft will remain on the ground and will not be used for further flights until the required technical checks and repairs are completed.
The aircraft is currently undergoing a detailed technical inspection. IndiGo and airport officials are assessing the damage and determining what action is required before the aircraft can return to service.
As part of the initial assessment, officials are also examining whether the aircraft may have encountered lightning during adverse weather conditions. However, the possibility is still being investigated, and no final cause of the damage has been established.
The incident did not result in any reported injuries, and all passengers were safe after the aircraft arrived at Lucknow airport.
Technical teams will continue to inspect the aircraft to understand how the nose section was damaged. The inspection will also help determine whether the damage was related to weather conditions or another technical issue.
The incident highlights the importance of aircraft inspections after flights, particularly when an aircraft may have operated in difficult weather conditions. A final assessment will be made after the technical inspection is completed.
Further details about the aircraft’s condition and the possible cause of the damage are expected after the inspection and investigation are completed.
