An unused Air India passenger plane had an ‘unscheduled landing’ while being transported on road in the Begumpet Airport here on Sunday. None was injured.
According to police, the Airbus A-320 was being shifted from the airport to Air India’s cadet training facility at Balanagar when the mishap occurred. A crane mounted on a 16-wheelbase transport carrier was expected to hold the plane aloft till it reaches the training facility.
A short while after the truck began moving, the crane toppled under the weight of the plane, dropping the aircraft on a wall nearby.
The totally damaged plane was recently repaired for instructional purpose and was put on display during the aviation show held last month.
