Today, another IndiGo A321neo suffered a tail strike.

The aircraft (reg. VT-IMW) was performing flight #6E6595 from Bengaluru to Ahmedabad when the 7 month-old A321neo experienced a tail strike.

Only 4 days ago, another A321neo (reg. VT-IMG) suffered the same incident. The plane is still grounded at Delhi for repairs.

On April 2023, it was turn of another A321neo (reg. VT-IML) to suffer a tail strike.

On January 2023, the Airbus A321neo (reg. VT-ILR) was grounded for few days at Kolkata Airport due to a tail strike.

The concern is real as in October 2022, the same aircraft suffering the incident today (reg. VT-IMW) already experienced a tail strike as it was newly delivered to IndiGo.

On 15 February 2023, Air India Airbus A321 (reg. VT-PPU) did a tail strike during take-off while operating flight #AI852.
