Aviation watchdog DGCA is probing the incident of tailstrike involving an IndiGo aircraft on September 9 and the flight crew has been derostered, a senior official said on Tuesday.

In a statement, IndiGo said its A321 aircraft was grounded in Bangalore due to a tailstrike on September 9.

It was operating the flight from Delhi to Bengaluru.

“The aircraft is currently under maintenance and will be back in operation post necessary repairs. The incident is under investigation,” the airline said.

According to the senior official at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the flight crew has been off rostered and the incident is under investigation.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
