DGCA Probes Damage to 3 Air India Planes at Delhi Airport
India's DGCA has launched a formal investigation into damage sustained by three Air India aircraft at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. The incident coincides with severe weather on June 9, 2026, including a dust storm with winds reported up to 120 kmph that disrupted flight operations across the capital's airports. No injury reports, loss estimates, or fleet-wide grounding indications have emerged. The event remains under DGCA inquiry with severity of damage, repair-versus-total-loss outcomes, and insured loss figures all outstanding.

Impact verdict
Low impact. LOW: Three-aircraft weather-related damage at a single hub is a localised aviation hull matter for one operator. Multiple independent mainstream sources confirm the DGCA probe and the severe weather context (120 kmph winds, dust storm), strengthening factual reliability. However, no loss estimate, no total-loss confirmation, no fleet grounding, and no liability/injury indications have been reported. The event is most likely absorbed within standard airline hull retentions and does not present market-moving exposure for London aviation syndicates. Watch-list only pending DGCA findings and any disclosed insured loss figures.
