A SpiceJet plane on Monday hit a pole at the Delhi airport as it was preparing for take-off, leading to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) suspending two pilots and some ground staff involved in the incident.
The Delhi-Jammu flight was scheduled for take-off on Monday morning, when during pushback its right wing came in close contact with the pole, damaging the aileron which is controlled by the pilot to make a turn.
The two pilots and the aircraft maintenance engineer were among those suspended by the DGCA. The officials also visited the site for an investigation.
