However, a source within IndiGo suggested that the Air India aircraft may not have been completely stationary. According to this version, the Air India plane may have nudged forward or shifted slightly after the first aircraft passed, reducing the safety margin and resulting in wingtip contact.

Following the incident, the Mumbai division of the DGCA was informed. Officials are present on site and are enquiring into the incident.

No-one was hurt, but the aircraft's engine was damaged and it has been grounded for repairs.
