On April 17, 2026, Pune Airport in Maharashtra, India, experienced a major disruption when the Indian Air Force (IAF) grounded operations for over 11 hours following a hard landing incident involving a Sukhoi 30 MKI aircraft. The runway was closed after the aircraft suffered an undercarriage failure, leaving it stranded in the middle of the runway. The IAF confirmed that all crew members were safe and that there was no damage to civil property. The disruption began at 10:25 PM, leading to the cancellation or diversion of 32 flights arriving and departing from the airport. Airlines, particularly IndiGo, reported significant cancellations, with 31 arrivals and 34 departures affected. Following the incident, the airport director stated that efforts were underway to clear the runway, and safety inspections were conducted before resuming operations. By the morning of April 18, normal flight operations had resumed.
