Lucknow: The Lucknow airport authorities increased patrolling around the runway on Saturday, a day after a bird hit an aircraft headed to Delhi with 147 passengers on board.
On Friday, the Delhi-bound Indigo flight (6E-147), with a scheduled departure time of 11.00am, had started taxiing on the runway and was about to take off when a bird hit its engine. The pilot immediately raised an alarm with the air traffic controller (ATC) and aborted the flight. The aircraft later was attended by engineers who took more than five hours to get things corrected. The flight eventually took off for its destination at around 5pm.
