AI PLANE WING NEARLY HITS PASSENGER BUS

New Delhi: Scores of passengers, who had just deplaned a SpiceJet flight, escaped unhurt at Jabalpur airport on Saturday when the wing of a taxiing Air India plane narrowly missed hitting the coach in which they were travelling. The incident happened when the coach carrying passengers, who landed in flight SG- 2641 from Delhi, was preparing to move towards the terminal building. There were no immediate comments from SpiceJet and Air India on the incident. Sources said that around 30 passengers came out of the coach after one of them saw the wing of an Air India aircraft was close to hitting the coach. The engine of the SpiceJet was still on after landing when the Air India plane was taxiing towards the bay. The incident happened at around noon. The Air India plane’s wing had breached the stipulated safe distance that needs to be maintained from other objects and vehicles at the time of taxiing, sources said.
