BBC reports that an Indian aircraft hit a stray
buffalo during take-off from the western city of Surat, but no passengers or
crew were injured.
The SpiceJet is India's fourth-bi that bigest airline by market share.
The Delhi-bound SpiceJet plane, carrying 146 passengers and crew, was grounded on Thursday because of the damage sustained in the accident.
SpiceJet said the buffalo, which was killed in the crash, was "essentially invisible against a black background".
The airline said in a statement that the Boeing 737-800 aircraft hit the buffalo on "take-off roll" at Surat airport.
Passengers on the plane were transferred to another aircraft.
