The storm came without warning, other airlines also suffered losses!

The surprising thing is that these ground equipment belonged to two different companies (Air India Engineering and Indigo) which got swept away by the speed of the storm and collided with the planes. According to the airport operator, there was no prior warning from the air traffic control about the sudden change in weather, due to which the airlines did not get a chance to recover. According to sources, ships of other airlines have also been hit by this bad weather.
