An Air India Airbus A320 veered off the runway at Mumbai International Airport on Monday while landing during heavy rain, damaging the underside of one of its engines and briefly shutting the runway.

Air India flight AI2744, operating from Kochi to Mumbai, experienced heavy rain during landing, resulting in a “runway excursion” after touchdown on Monday. The aircraft, an Airbus A320neo, has been grounded for checks, an Air India spokesperson said.

The left engine separated from the aircraft and struck the north corner of this building at ground level. The aircraft's right engine was found resting beneath a concrete water tank on the building's rooftop. The tail section of the aircraft was found embedded in the building's northeast wall and was later moved to the ground.
