Etihad Airbus A380

A plane pulled off an extraordinary landing at Heathrow Airport, after contending with powerful headwinds brought by Storm Dennis in Britain.

The UAE's flag carrier Etihad Airways has started flying its Airbus A380 aircraft, the world's biggest passenger airliner, to Mumbai with the launch of a new daily service.

Gulf carrier Etihad Airways' jumbo Airbus A380 will be not be accorded the traditional water canon salute when it makes its debut landing in India at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport on May 1 due to severe drought and massive water shortage in several parts of Maharashtra.

The 125-square-foot (11.61-square-meter) area includes a "living room" partitioned off from the first-class aisle that includes leather seating, chilled minibar and a 32-inch flat-screen TV. There is a separate bedroom with space for two that can be closed off from the rest of the cabin and a private bathroom with shower.

India will allow Airbus A380 planes to land at the country's four main airports, the civil aviation ministry said on Monday, lifting restrictions on the superjumbos flying into the country.

Gulf airlines are set to place orders worth over $100 billion as the Dubai Airshow gets under way on Sunday, industry sources said, led by record investment in a new Boeing jet.
