India lifts ban on Airbus A380s Monday Jan 27,2014

 
India will allow Airbus A380 planes to land at the country's four main airports -
  • New Delhi
  • Mumbai
  • Bangalore and
  • Hyderabad
the civil aviation ministry said on Monday Jan 27,2014, lifting restrictions on the superjumbos flying into the country

The ban on A380s was mainly due to concerns that foreign carriers may further hurt state-run Air India by grabbing a larger share of international traffic.

The lifting of the ban will benefit carriers like Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Lufthansa and British Airways that operate the super-jumbo and fly to India, as well A380 customers like Etihad and Qatar Airways who have yet to take delivery of the aircraft.
