As the IndiGo plane lands in Mumbai in the midst of persistent rain, its tail collides with the runway during the go-around.

An IndiGo Airbus A321 aircraft's tail touched the runway of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Saturday while the aircraft attempted a go-around while landing in Mumbai amid poor weather conditions. “On August 16, 2025 an IndiGo Airbus A321 aircraft tail touched the runway while executing a low-altitude go-around due to unfavourable weather conditions in Mumbai. Following the standard protocol, the aircraft will go through necessary checks/ repairs and regulatory clearance before resuming operations," said an IndiGo spokesperson. In a go-around, an aircraft initiates a climb away from the runway instead of continuing its approach to land.
