An Air India Dreamliner aircraft suffered a bird hit last week and had been grounded in London. Air India flight AI-171 left Ahmedabad, and only after it landed in London that authorities noticed a huge dent on the radome.
The Ahmedabad airport director said that their ATC hadn't registered any incident of bird hit. Of the total 230 passengers, 50 flyers to Newark were accommodated on a different flight, while those on the return leg of the journey from London to Ahmedabad were accommodated on AI's London-Mumbai flight.
The plane is currently undergoing repair and maintenance, and will be ready for the next return journey from London to Ahmedabad.
