Singapore Airlines A380 rolls back at Delhi Airport
A Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 experienced an unexpected rollback at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in New Delhi on November 25, 2024, due to a failure by the pilots to set the parking brakes after parking.
The incident occurred shortly after the aircraft, operating flight SQ406 from Singapore (SIN), had docked at the gate.
While no passengers were harmed, a cabin crew member sustained a minor thigh injury during the rollback.
The pilot promptly applied the brakes to stop the aircraft, and ground staff later towed it back into position. All passengers disembarked without further incident.
