A Bangkok-bound Air India flight from the city was held back for over five hours on June 25, after some hay was found stuck in one of the aircraft's wings, the airline has said, reported news agency PTI.

This was immediately attended to, and the aircraft was subsequently cleared for operation, Air India said in a statement.

The Tata Group-run airline did not share other key details such as the number of passengers and crew on board, the type of aircraft, the scheduled time of departure and for how long the passengers remained stranded at the Mumbai airport, reported PTI.
