An IndiGo flight hits parking pole while maneuvering into its designated parking bay at Srinagar International Airport on Friday morning. The incident involved flight 6E 225, an aircraft arriving from Navi Mumbai, which made contact with ground equipment shortly after touching down safely on the runway.
The aircraft was positioning at Bay Number 06 around nine in the morning when it collided with a Visual Docking Guidance System pole. Ground staff immediately halted the aircraft to assess the impact and ensure complete safety for everyone on board.
Were Any Passengers Injured When IndiGo Flight Hits?
No injuries occurred during the ground incident. Airport authorities confirmed that all passengers and crew members were safely evacuated from the aircraft using manual stairs and escorted to the terminal building without delay.
What action are aviation authorities taking following the collision? Officials have ordered a comprehensive inquiry to establish the precise sequence of events that led to the contact with the stationary guidance structure. Investigators are analyzing technical logs, environmental factors, and taxiway positioning procedures to determine accountability, while routine airport flight schedules remain fully operational and unaffected.
This ground incident marks the second operational challenge for the airline within a twenty-four-hour period, following an earlier international flight diversion caused by a medical emergency. Aviation safety teams continue to conduct detailed inspections of the involved aircraft before clearing it to resume commercial operations.
