Three Air India narrowbody aircraft parked at Terminal 2 of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport were damaged on Sunday after strong winds and heavy rain caused ground support equipment from Air India Engineering and IndiGo to move and collide with the planes. All three aircraft were taken out of operation for inspection and repairs; two are expected to return to service soon, while one may require longer repairs. The airport operator stated that no prior weather warning was issued by Air Traffic Control. Sources indicated that aircraft from other operators were also affected by the adverse weather. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has launched an investigation into the incident.
