I am by no means an expert in airline safety, nor pilot training for that matter, but I am pretty sure I wouldn’t want to be the first pilot trainee to take this plane up after it had been dropped by a crane!
A disused airliner has fallen from a crane on to a wall in southern India.
The Air India Airbus A320 was hoisted 20m (60ft) above the ground while being moved at Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad to the company’s nearby flight training centre.
The crane, mounted on a large road transporter, buckled under the aircraft’s weight, officials said.
No-one was hurt. Despite the mishap, the plane will still be used for training, Air India said.
