New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA has ordered a probe into the incident of an aircraft engine part found outside the Delhi airport, sources said on Wednesday.
While the sources mentioned the metal part might be of an Air India Express aircraft that made an emergency landing at the airport on Monday, the airline said at this time, it cannot confirm if these metal pieces were from its aircraft.
The sources in the know said the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered a probe into the incident.
One of the sources said probably, the parts are of a broken blade of an aircraft engine.
When contacted, an Air India Express spokesperson said its flight IX 145 encountered an engine issue after takeoff from Delhi on September 2.
The flight was bound for Bahrain.
“The failure was managed in accordance with laid-down procedures, and a precautionary landing was conducted at Delhi,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
Further, the spokesperson said the matter has been reported to the regulator and other concerned agencies and is currently under investigation.
“We are aware of reports of metal pieces being found at Shankar Vihar. At this time, we cannot confirm if these metal pieces are from our aircraft. The investigation is ongoing to establish the facts,” the spokesperson added.
