An Air India Airbus A321 aircraft operating flight AI-479 from Delhi to Amritsar briefly infringed into Pakistani airspace on Monday during a go-around manoeuvre at Amritsar airport. The incident has triggered an internal investigation by the airline and regulatory authorities.

According to an official statement, the aircraft VT-PPV was asked to hold due to runway inspection following a bird strike incident.

The aircraft eventually diverted back to Delhi and landed safely.
