India's civil aviation regulator has launched an investigation after the wingtips of two passenger aircraft briefly came into contact on a runway at Mumbai airport, prompting an evacuation of passengers.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said an Air India aircraft was awaiting departure when an IndiGo plane, taxiing on a parallel route after landing, scraped the tip of its wing.
"The right wingtips of both aircraft touched each other," the regulator said.
Both airlines confirmed that all passengers and crew were safe. The two Airbus A320 aircraft involved have been grounded for inspection.
The incident took place around 19:30 local time (14:00 GMT) on Tuesday.
