An Akasa Air aircraft stationed at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport was struck by a cargo truck, prompting a full technical inspection and internal investigation.

According to a spokesperson from the airline, the vehicle involved was being operated by a third-party ground handling agency when it came in contact with the parked aircraft. The nature and extent of the damage, if any, have not yet been officially disclosed.

“A third-party ground handler, while operating a cargo truck, came in contact with an Akasa Air aircraft that was parked at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai. The aircraft is currently undergoing a thorough inspection, and we are investigating this incident with the third-party ground handler,” the airline said in an official statement.

Akasa Air confirmed that no passengers or crew were on board at the time of the incident, and there were no injuries reported.

The airline has since grounded the aircraft pending a detailed assessment of its airworthiness. Authorities have been notified, and the matter is also being handled in coordination with the ground services provider.

This is the latest in a series of recent incidents at Indian airports that have drawn attention to the need for enhanced oversight of airside safety operations, particularly involving third-party vendors and logistics services operating near aircraft.
