"This is a [deregistered] scrapped aircraft of Air India which has been sold off. This was transported last night by the party [new owners]. Air India has got no connection whatsoever with the aircraft under any circumstances," the publication cited Air India as stating.

The publication said citing the initial report on the plane stuck on "Delhi-Gurugram highway outside the Delhi airport" by Times of India that the "aircraft certainly does not belong to the Delhi airport's fleet," and that the "driver may have made an error while transporting it."
