Air India’s six Boeing 777 aircraft cleared to fly to US
After keeping several hundred passengers on tenterhook for two days, Air India on Thursday resumed six India-US flights on Boeing B777 aircraft on Thursday after Boeing gave the clearance to operate them.
The airline released a statement saying Boeing has issued a clearance to operate flights on its B777 aircraft. The airline also said all flights to the US will normalize from Friday.
The decision by Air India came after US aviation regulator Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) gave approval which includes most Boeing Co. and Airbus SE models, including Boeing 777, which was left off of the list on Sunday, saying radio altimeters fitted in certain types of aircraft, including B777, will not be affected by 5G services.
