Air India Flight With 180 Flyers Onboard Hits Tug Tractor At Pune Airport

An Air India flight carrying 180 passengers collided with a tug tractor while taxiing towards the runway at Pune Airport.

A Delhi-bound Air India flight collided with a tug tractor while taxiing towards the runway at Pune Airport on Thursday. The incident occurred when around 180 passengers were onboard the aircraft. “The aircraft, carrying around 180 passengers, suffered damage to its nose and a tyre near the landing gear. Despite the collision, all passengers and crew on board are reported to be safe,” an airport official told ANI.

Meanwhile earlier this week, Air India Express reinstated all cabin crew members who called in sick to protest against the alleged mismanagement at the carrier. After reprimanding the employees, the airline brought them back and the crew members returned to duty by last Saturday.

However, problems for the carrier remained as a software glitch in the firm’s scheduling software led to the staff being marked as sick, a release by the Air India Express Employees Union revealed on Sunday.

The union informed that the crew has joined back, but are being marked incorrectly due to a technical error, reported ANI. Further, flights scheduled to depart on Sunday were cancelled three days earlier. “We also express our sincere apologies to the esteemed guests for the inconvenience caused to them,” the union’s release said. To resume normal operations, passengers who had bookings with the airline need to reconfirm.

The Union also met with the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) New Delhi recently to discuss the issues and find a solution. The union informed, “The CLC has conducted marathon proceedings with the representatives of this union and management of the Airlines in a cordial manner and the management agreed to take back the terminated employees forthwith and also resolve all the remaining issues asap. The CLC has adjourned the proceedings to the 28th of May 2024.”
