IndiGo’s upcoming A350 fleet is set to transform its operations at Delhi Airport, but the airline faces a logistical challenge: its operations are spread across multiple terminals. To address this, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) plans to introduce an automated people mover (APM) connecting the terminals, improving connectivity and passenger flow, making Delhi Airport more attractive for transfers and benefiting IndiGo significantly.
Several airlines are conducting inspections of their Airbus A350 fleets following an engine component failure on a Cathay Pacific A350-1000. The issue, affecting aircraft with Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines, has prompted the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to issue a directive requiring visual checks and measurements. While some airlines have already completed inspections with minimal disruptions, others are still conducting checks.
Airbus and Rolls-Royce are preparing to brief airlines on the consequences of an engine emergency that forced a Cathay Pacific A350 to return to Hong Kong. While no widespread flaw has been identified, investigations are ongoing and could lead to further action, including fleet-wide inspections.
Air India is set to transform air travel with the introduction of in-flight Wi-Fi on its A350 flights between Delhi and London. This move will offer passengers unparalleled connectivity, allowing them to stay connected, work, and enjoy entertainment throughout their journey.
