A parked aircraft of an Indian budget airline was grounded on Tuesday after an unmanned vehicle rolled across the tarmac and collided with its engine at Kolkata’s busy Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose international airport.
According to initial accounts, the third-party catering vehicle struck the engine of the stationary IndiGo aircraft at about 9.30pm at parking bay 51 at the airport in the eastern city, where the plane had been waiting ahead of its scheduled departure.
