“Three Air India narrowbody aircraft parked at Terminal 2 of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport were damaged on Sunday (June 7, 2026) when ground support equipment hit them due to sudden strong wind and rain,” the airport operator said.
All three aircraft were taken out of operation after the collision, said the operator. “The ground equipment belonging to Air India Engineering and IndiGo moved from their position due to the sudden inclement weather, hitting the aircraft parked at Terminal 2,” the operator said.
An airline source, however, said that along with three of Air India planes, aircraft of other operators were also impacted due to the hostile weather conditions. He said that of the three impacted aircraft, two will be back to operations soon while the third will take a little longer to be fixed.
