An IndiGo flight experienced a tail strike while landing at Ranchi airport on Friday night. The incident happened around 7:30 p.m. during the landing of the Bhubaneswar-Ranchi flight carrying about 70 passengers. Ranchi airport Director Vinod Kumar told PTI, "The tail of the aircraft touched the runway during landing. Passengers experienced a sudden jolt. However, they were all safe and unharmed." After the incident, the plane was grounded as it was found technically unfit for takeoff. Its next flight from Ranchi to Bhubaneswar was cancelled. Some passengers cancelled their trips, others rescheduled, and some were sent to Bhubaneswar by road, Kumar added.
