Hong Kong to Delhi Air India flight catches fire after landing, passengers safe

An Air India aircraft that departed from Hong Kong on Tuesday caught fire after landing in Delhi, with all passengers and crew members unharmed. The airline said on Tuesday that flight AI315 experienced an auxiliary power unit fire shortly after landing and parking at the gate of Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi. 'The incident occurred while passengers had begun disembarking, and the auxiliary power unit was automatically shut down as per system design,' the company said in a social media post. 'There was some damage to the aircraft; however, passengers and crew members disembarked normally, and are safe.' The company added that the aircraft had been grounded for further investigations and the regulator had been duly notified. An auxiliary power unit is a small gas turbine mounted in the tail cone of an aircraft to provide autonomous electrical and mechanical power for functions such as starting the main engines, in-flight operations and emergencies.
