A Jet Airways shuttle bus accidently drove into a stationed Air India flight on Tuesday morning at the Kolkata airport, severely damaging the plane. The mishap happened at bay number 32 of the NSCB International Airport at around 5:25 am in the morning when the driver lost control of the bus and rammed it into the parked aircraft hitting it near its left wing and damaging one of its engines.

However, no casualty or injury was reported as the plane was empty and was being ready for the passengers to board the plane when the mishap happened. Air India officials said the plane suffered major damage and has been grounded. The airline has cancelled two flights to the North East.

The driver of the bus was arrested immediately and is being interrogated by various agencies at the airport. The driver, identified as Momin Ali during preliminary interrogation, told investigators that he fell asleep while driving and thus swerved out of the designated path and crashed into the aircraft.

The incident comes less than a week after a technician was sucked into the engine of another Air India aircraft, highlighting the lacunae in security measures when a flight is still on the ground.
