Air India’s Air Bus Crashes in Hyderabad

A freak accident had taken place at Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad earlier today. A crane carrying Air India’s defunct aircraft has crashed on the boundary wall of a private property abutting Begumpet Airport. The incident happened when the Air India officials were transporting the defunct Airbus A320 aircraft from the Begumpet Airport hangar to their training academy (Central Training Establishment) nearby.

The plan is to use the aircraft in training the flight attendants, engineers, pilots and aviation security personnel. The Airbus was successfully mounted on to the crane and when the truck was moving slowly towards the Air India’s training academy, the arm of the crane snapped due to heavy load.

It was then the aircraft crashed on the boundary wall of a private property opposite to the airport premises. Finally it was decided that the aircraft will be cut into three pieces to carry them separately to the training academy located at Ferozguda. The traffic was severely disrupted in the old airport road from Bowenpally to Ferozguda.
