Passengers were disembarking via an aerobridge when the truck carrying 14 kilolitres of aviation turbine fuel rolled under one of the plane’s wings.
It was about to link up with the fuel ports when flames suddenly erupted from the tanker.
An Air India technical staff in the apron area was the first to spot the fire and alert the tanker driver, who in turn detached the cuffler and drove the vehicle away from the plane.
