India’s aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), is probing the April 16 ground collision at Delhi airport between a SpiceJet Boeing 737-700 and Akasa Air Boeing 737. Both aircraft suffered damage, forcing suspension of Akasa’s Delhi-Hyderabad flight.
A DGCA statement elaborated that the winglet of SpiceJet aircraft VT-SLB, operating Flight SG-124 from Leh to New Delhi, was taxiing to its parking bay at Terminal 1 when it collided with the horizontal tail surface of the Akasa aircraft stationed on the apron after its pushback for service to Hyderabad. Initial investigations found the right-hand winglet of the SpiceJet plane and the tail horizontal stabiliser of the Akasa aircraft had been affected, said the statement.
