World’s largest jet set for Hyderabad stopover Thursday May 12,2016

A few minutes past midnight on Thursday May 12,2016, the deafening roar of six mighty engines on the Antonov An-225 Mriya could throw many out of their beds in Hyderabad.

The An-225 Mriya (Ukrainian for ‘dream’) will halt at the GMR-owned R.G.I Shamshabad Airport, Hyderabad, for 20 hours for  refuelling and rest for crew during a flight from Prague to Perth with 130 tonnes of energy equipment for a Western Australian mining company.
