A Delhi-Cochin flight which took off from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport early Monday morning had to be grounded forcibly within 40 minutes because the engineers had “forgotten” to remove pins from the landing gear, thus making it impossible for the pilot to retract the aircraft's wheels.
The flight carrying 236 passengers could finally take off after a four-hour delay.
The matter has been reported to India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the carrier suspended both engineers for the faux pas.
