Air India A350 Engine Damaged at Delhi After Container Incident During Taxiing

An Air India Airbus A350 aircraft suffered damage to its right engine at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after a baggage container was sucked into the engine while taxiing in dense fog. The aircraft, operating Flight AI101 to New York, had returned to Delhi shortly after takeoff due to the unexpected closure of Iranian airspace. The plane has been grounded for investigation and repairs, potentially causing disruptions on select long-haul routes. This incident follows a recent Air India flight that returned to Delhi due to a technical issue.
