An Air India flight bound for Delhi was involved in a collision with a tug truck while taxiing at Pune Airport, damaging the aircraft's nose and a tyre. Despite the incident, all 180 passengers and crew onboard are safe. Emergency protocols were swiftly enacted, and passengers were deplaned and accommodated on an alternative flight to Delhi. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched an inquiry to determine the cause of the collision, focusing on operational protocols and possible lapses. The affected aircraft was taken out of service for inspection and repairs but is now ready for operations.
