Visibly the aircraft is stuck mid-way, as half its body had crossed underneath the foot overbridge while the other half got stuck. Soon after the video of the plane stuck beneath the bridge went viral. The airline confirmed that there was no mishap and that it was a scrapped plan that was under transport. The airlines said that the plane was being transported by its new owner who bought it from Air India.

However, it was later confirmed that no flight has been involved in an accident. ¡°The aircraft certainly does not belong to the Delhi airport¡¯s fleet¡ it is being transported without any wings. It appears to be a scrapped plane and the driver may have made a judgment of error while transporting it,¡± an official told Times Of India.
