An Air India Airbus A350 operating Flight AI101 from Delhi to New York suffered engine damage on Jan 15, 2026, when a baggage container was sucked into its right engine while taxiing at Indira Gandhi International Airport in dense fog, the airline said. The flight had returned to Delhi shortly after takeoff due to an unexpected closure of Iranian airspace, and the incident occurred after landing. All passengers and crew were safe, and the aircraft has since been grounded for investigation and repairs, with possible disruptions to some A350 routes. India’s aviation regulator DGCA has launched a probe into the cause of the unusual foreign‐object ingestion.
