An Air India Dreamliner aircraft, carrying 127 passengers from New Delhi, suffered a bird-hit while landing at the Bangalore airport this morning, airport sources said.
The incident did not cause any harm to the passengers, they said.
There was no damage to the aircraft and it later took off for its return journey to New Delhi, an Air India spokesperson said.
The incident happened around 9 am when the Air India flight (AI 803) from New Delhi with 127 passengers onboard was landing at the Bangalore airport.
The aircraft made a normal landing and the passengers disembarked safely, sources added.
Air India has recently inducted two Boeing Dreamliners in its fleet, after a delay of over four years.
As a part of the original delivery schedule, Boeing had to commence the delivery in 2008 of the 27 Dreamliners ordered by the national carrier in 2006.
