In another, unrelated update, a fire broke out on board an IndiGo aircraft at Delhi airport on Sunday after a passenger’s power bank caught fire while the plane was taxiing for take-off to Dimapur, Nagaland. The crew acted immediately to extinguish the flames, ensuring the safety of all passengers and preventing any injuries.
