The departure of Ahmedabad-bound Jet Airways flight S2 4329 was delayed on Wednesday, after the aircraft was hit by a tug minutes before its take-off from the Mumbai airport.
As many as 165 passengers on board the affected flight left for Ahmedabad by alternate flight.
“Jet Airways flight S2 4329 Mumbai – Ahmedabad operated with a delayed departure as the engineering team had to carry out an inspection and servicing of its exterior, due slight scrape by a ground handling equipment, prior to departure,” a Jet Airway statement said.
“An alternate aircraft was made available and it operated its scheduled sector, Mumbai-Ahmedabad, with 165 guests on board. Jet Airways regrets inconvenience caused to guests,” the airline statement added.
