Passengers on-board an IndiaGo bus sustained minor injuries after a window pane shattered due to jet blast from a SpiceJet plane approaching a parking bay, an IndiGo spokesperson said today.
The incident took place yesterday evening when the right front window of the bus broke from the impact of the blast, the spokesperson said. Five passengers received minor injuries and were taken to the airport clinic.
The matter is being probed by aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
