Air India flight's APU catches fire after landing at Delhi airport; all passengers safe

New Delhi [India]: An Air India flight operating from Hong Kong to Delhi on Tuesday suffered an auxiliary power unit (APU) fire shortly after the aircraft landed at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport. The APU is a small engine located typically at the tail of an aircraft. It provides power to essential systems when the main engines are off, such as during boarding, disembarkation, or while the aircraft is parked at the gate. According to the airline, the incident occurred while the aircraft was parked at the gate and passengers had begun to disembark. 'Flight AI 315, operating from Hong Kong to Delhi on 22 July 2025, experienced an auxiliary power unit (APU) fire shortly after it had landed and parked at the gate. The incident occurred while passengers had begun disembarking, and the APU was automatically shut down as per system design," an Air India spokesperson said in a statement. "There was some damage to the aircraft, however, passengers and crew members disembarked normally, and are safe. The aircraft has been grounded for further investigations and the regulator has been duly notified,' the statement read. No injuries were reported among the passengers or crew members. The aircraft remains grounded at Delhi pending a technical evaluation and inspection by regulatory authorities, it added.

More Dubai-bound flights from India hit by delays, cancellations

Flight disruptions on the India–Dubai route continued on Wednesday, compounding the frustration of hundreds of travellers already grappling with recurring delays and operational snags. In the latest incident, an Air India Express flight from Lucknow to Dubai was cancelled on Wednesday morning after a technical fault was detected. Flight IX 193, scheduled to depart at 8.45am from Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport, was carrying 160 passengers and eight crew members. The pilot reportedly noticed the issue after starting the engine and promptly alerted airline officials and air traffic control. 'They tried to fix the issue, but it couldn't be resolved, forcing the airline to cancel the flight,' said R. Khan, a passenger travelling with his family. Flight tracking data confirms the cancellation. Khan added that some passengers were accommodated in hotels, while others were offered refunds or assured seats on alternative flights. On the same day (Wednesday) fresh delays hit Jaipur International Airport. SpiceJet's flight SG 57 to Dubai, scheduled to take off at 9.30am, was delayed by more than seven hours and eventually departed at 4.35pm. The delay was attributed to the late arrival of the inbound aircraft, SG 58, from Dubai, which itself had departed nearly six hours behind schedule. The disruptions come just days after Khaleej Times reported a string of delays on the Jaipur–Dubai route over the weekend, with passengers on some flights waiting for up to nine hours.
