A Vistara flight that was traveling from Bhubaneswar to New Delhi had to make an emergency landing shortly after taking off because it encountered a hailstorm. During the hailstorm, the windshield of the aircraft was damaged, possibly due to hailstones hitting it. Despite the damage to the windshield, the flight crew managed to safely land the plane back at Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar. Fortunately, all 169 passengers and crew onboard the flight were unharmed. The airport director, Prasanna Pradhan, confirmed that while the windshield was damaged, no passengers were injured as a result of the incident.
