GMR Hyderabad International Airport has welcomed Emirates SkyCargo's dedicated Boeing 777 Freighter service connecting Taipei, Hyderabad and Dubai. The service will enhance cargo connectivity and support the movement of pharmaceuticals, electronics, semiconductors, perishables and other time-sensitive shipments.
A Mumbai-bound Air India Boeing 777 returned to New Delhi shortly after take-off due to a right engine oil pressure issue. The aircraft landed safely with 335 people onboard, and alternative arrangements were made as inspections continue
In a release, the carrier said it has entered the "wide body space with an order for 30 firm Airbus A350-900 aircraft". These planes will be powered by Rolls Royce's Trent XWB engine.
Based on the most successful twin-aisle airplane ever, the 777, and with advanced technologies from the 787 Dreamliner family, the 777-9 will be the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet.
