Mumbai: The tail of an IndiGo aircraft touched the runway while it was landing at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai on Saturday amid inclement weather conditions.
The flight 6E 1060, operated by an A321 Neo, arrived in Mumbai from Bangkok.
“On August 16, 2025, an IndiGo Airbus A321 aircraft tail touched the runway while executing a low-altitude go-around due to unfavourable weather conditions in Mumbai. Thereafter, the aircraft carried out another approach and landed safely,” an IndiGo spokesperson said.
“Following the standard protocol, the aircraft will go through the necessary checks/ repairs and regulatory clearance before resuming operations. At IndiGo, the safety of our customers, crew, and aircraft is our top priority. We are making all efforts to minimise any subsequent impact on our operations due to this incident,” the spokesperson added.
The matter has been reported to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
