An Air India plane stuck underneath a foot overbridge has become the talking point on social media.

Footage that has gone massively viral online shows the aircraft wedged under a bridge near the
Delhi airport. The scrapped airplane, which did not have wings, was reportedly being transported
when it got stuck on the Delhi-Gurugram highway. 

The airplane did not block all traffic on the route. In the video, vehicles can be seen passing on one
side of the highway, while the other side appears to be largely blocked by the plane. 

The video has been watched and shared thousands of times on social media and over messaging
platforms like WhatsApp, with many wondering how the aircraft managed to get stuck in the first
place. 

In a statement that Air India shared with ANI journalist Ashoke Raj, the airline said the aircraft had
been deregistered and sold off. It was being transported by the buyer on Saturday night when it got
stuck under the foot overbridge. 

"This is a detegistered scrapped aircraft of Air India which has been sold off," the statement read.
"This was transported last night by the party. Air India has got no connection whatsoever with the
aircraft.
