AI-890- GAU-DEL- landed in Jaipur on 5th Jan in near zero visiblity

Air India Airbus A320-200, registration VT-ESH performing flight AI-890 from Guwahati to Delhi with 173 people on board, could not land in Delhi (scheduled arrival at 20:40) due to weather and diverted to Jaipur . By the time the aircraft arrived at Jaipur visibility at Jaipur had reduced below minima as well, the crew however needed to decide to land in Jaipur being unable to reach another aerodrome with the fuel remaining. While landing on Jaipur's runway 27 at about 21:30 the aircraft burst a number of tyres, veered left off the runway and the left hand wing collided with an obstacle, reportedly a tree, before the aircraft came to a stop. No injuries occurred, the aircraft received substantial damage to its left hand wing.

The airport reported the aircraft blew a nose gear tyre and received damage to the left hand wing. The aerodrome needed to be closed due to the runway being blocked by the aircraft.
