NEW DELHI, July 22 (Xinhua) — An Air India passenger plane, flight AI-315, operating from Hong Kong to Delhi, caught fire in its auxiliary power unit shortly after landing at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, the Indian capital, on Tuesday, officials said.

The fire was discovered as passengers were preparing to exit the plane.

Air India said no passengers or crew were injured, but the fire caused some damage to the aircraft itself.

Another Air India flight from Cochin to Mumbai skidded off the runway while landing on Monday, causing damage to both the plane and the road surface, according to media reports. Last month, an Air India flight to London crashed shortly after takeoff in the city of Ahmedabad, killing all 241 people on board. –0–
