An incoming Kingfisher Airlines aircraft, carrying 107 passengers, was hit by a bird on Sunday minutes before reaching the NSC Bose International Airport in Kolkata.
The Delhi-Kolkata flight, however, landed safely and returned to Delhi at 9.55 pm after its wings were repaired, airport officials said.
Incidentally, as a result of the delay in the flight's departure, city police Commissioner Gautam Mohan Chakraborty, who was also a passenger in the return flight, was left waiting for more than an hour at the airport.
