Kolkata International Airport made history with the landing of the Airbus Beluga XL, the largest aircraft in the Beluga series. Arriving from Bahrain, the aircraft made a technical stop to refuel and allow the crew to rest before continuing to Tianjin, China. The Beluga XL, designed for transporting oversized cargo like aircraft components, boasts a wingspan of 60.3 meters and can carry up to 51 tons. This marked the first time the XL version landed at the airport, enhancing its capacity to handle unique, large-scale operations.
