IndiGo aircraft's tail touches runway at Mumbai Airport
Mumbai: An IndiGo Airbus A321 aircraft's tail touched the runway amid bad weather, as it powered up for a low-altitude go-around manoeuvre in Mumbai on Saturday, according to the airline. Instead of attempting to land in less-than-ideal conditions, airline pilots frequently opt for a go-around. "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. Thereafter, the aircraft carried out another approach and landed safely," an IndiGo Spokesperson said in a statement. The Airline said that it will follow all the guidelines before the aircraft resumes operation. Following the standard protocol, the aircraft will go through necessary checks/ repairs and regulatory clearance before resuming operations, the Spokesperson said. "At IndiGo, the safety of our customers, crew, and aircraft is our top priority. We are making all efforts to minimise any subsequent impact on our operations due to this incident.' IndiGo Spokesperson stated. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) sent IndiGo a show-cause notice earlier last week for training 1,700 pilots to operate at three crucial airports with challenging runway conditions that necessitate specialised aircraft handling to ensure safe landings and takeoffs using "non-qualified simulators." According to the show cause notice, IndiGo used unqualified simulators to train flight commanders and first officers in Category C (Critical) airfields. An examination of IndiGo's simulator training data revealed that several Full Flight Simulators used for testing, training, or inspecting airfields like Kozhikode, Leh, and Kathmandu were not qualified or approved for the particular airport models as required by the Civil Aviation Rules (CAR), as per DGCA IndiGo has violated the CAR provisions by neglecting to guarantee that training pertaining to Class III (critical) airports is conducted using suitably qualified simulators, the notice stated.

Hero Mavrick 440 discontinued in India? Report suggests dealers stop new bookings
Hero MotoCorp has reportedly discontinued its Mavrick 440 motorcycle, possibly marking an early end to what was the company's most ambitious entry into the premium motorcycle segment. According to media publication Car&Bike, the decision comes less than a year and a half after the Mavrick's debut, following consistently weak sales performance. Citing sources, the publication reported that several dealerships have stopped accepting bookings for the motorcycle, and the model is anticipated to be officially withdrawn from the company's product portfolio. Mavrick 440: Engine, features and competition Launched in early 2024, the Mavrick 440 was intended to compete in the growing modern classic motorcycle segment, going up against rivals such as the Honda CB350 series, Triumph Speed 400, and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. Despite its shared underpinnings with the Harley-Davidson X440, another product of the Hero-Harley partnership, the Mavrick failed to gain traction in the market. Unlike the X440, which has seen relatively stronger demand, the Mavrick 440 has struggled with poor sales, often registering only low triple-digit figures monthly. Speaking of the design, the Mavrick 440 boasts a muscular fuel tank with certain elements in neo-retro. The company claims to use the metal for the fuel tank, fenders and shrouds. The lights on the bike are LEDs.

While the performance figures were modest, the engine was tuned for usability in the low and mid-rev ranges, a trait aimed at enhancing urban and short-distance touring experiences. Despite efforts to differentiate the Mavrick with a unique design and ergonomics, its lacklustre reception has ultimately led to its removal from the lineup. Meanwhile, the comparatively better-performing Harley-Davidson X440 remains in production, and further developments on the same platform are likely as Hero MotoCorp continues its partnership with Harley-Davidson.
