An Airbus SE A320 aircraft operated by IndiGo, India’s biggest airline, slid off the runway onto grass while taxiing for takeoff in Jorhat, the carrier said in a statement.
The flight to Kolkata was canceled and the aircraft is being inspected in Jorhat, a city in the northeastern state of Assam. IndiGo, which is operated by InterGlobe Aviation Ltd., said initial examinations showed no abnormalities with the plane.
Earlier this month, an IndiGo A320neo jet was diverted to Karachi due to a technical issue on its way from Sharjah to Hyderabad, and another flight was diverted as a precaution after the engines vibrated momentarily.
