The aircraft has been grounded for checks, Air India added. A Times of India report, citing sources, said three tyres had burst on the aircraft after the landing. TV footage from NDTV and India Today showed the outer casing of the engine damaged, with some apparent cracks.

An Air India spokesperson said that the incident happened when the plane from Kochi attempted landing at the Mumbai airport amid heavy rainfall on Monday.
