An IndiGo Airbus A321 experienced a tail strike while attempting a go-around at Mumbai airport on Saturday amid poor weather conditions, the airline confirmed.
The incident occurred when the aircraft’s tail touched the runway while powering up for a low-altitude go-around. The pilots later carried out another approach and landed the plane safely.
