Plane towed off parking bay

Kolkata/Bagdogra: The grounded Airbus A-320 aircraft of Kingfisher Airlines that threatened to block one of the only two parking bays at Bagdogra airport in north Bengal was towed to a section of the apron area that is currently being extended. The move has freed the two parking bays, thus removing a headache in the rescheduling of flights. Though there are only nine flights on Monday, they are all squeezed between 12 pm and 5 pm the slot for civilian use at the military airport.
On Saturday afternoon, the aircraft was grounded after its right wing had got damaged when it grazed a bunker.
