One of the engines of an Air India A350 on Thursday (January 15, 2025) ingested a ground container while taxiing to the parking bay amid dense fog.
The aircraft was operating a New Delhi–New York flight and returned to Delhi shortly after departure due to Iranian airspace restrictions.
“The aircraft is currently grounded for a thorough investigation and necessary repairs, which may cause potential disruptions on select A350 routes,” Air India said in a statement.
