Dreamliner windscreen cracks during landing
An Air India Dreamliner windshield cracked while landing in Melbourne.
The Delhi-Melbourne-Sydney-Delhi flight, carrying 74 passengers, developed a crack while landing, Air India spokesman Praveen Bhatnagar told AFP.
The incident is the latest in a number of mishaps the aircraft has suffered in recent times.
"The cockpit windscreen developed a crack while landing. It was a small incident. The windscreen has already been replaced," said Bhatnagar.
There was no risk to the safety of passengers, he added.
Passengers were transferred on Sunday to another flight to Delhi.
"It was no aircraft glitch. This may have happened due to rapid change in temperatures or some other particles on the windscreen while landing," said Bhatnagar.
