Airbus A320 Family Tops Boeing 737 as Most-Delivered Jetliner; India's Navi Mumbai Airport Opens After 25 Years
Airbus A320 family has made aviation history by becoming the most-delivered jetliner of all time, surpassing Boeing 737. Meanwhile, India's long-awaited Navi Mumbai International Airport, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, has finally opened after 25 years in the making. However, the US federal government shutdown is causing air traffic controller staffing shortages, leading to delays at major airports.
The Airbus A320 family, which includes the A318, A319, A320, and A321 variants, has now delivered over 8,600 aircraft since its introduction in 1988. This milestone highlights Airbus' dominance in the single-aisle market.
In India, the Navi Mumbai International Airport, first conceived in 1997, has finally become operational. Zaha Hadid Architects, renowned for their innovative designs, were responsible for the airport's unique architecture. The opening of this mega-airport is expected to ease congestion at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
The ongoing US federal government shutdown is causing disruptions in air travel. Air traffic controllers, who have not received pay during the shutdown, are continuing to work. Their union has urged members to keep working despite the financial strain, highlighting the essential role they play in ensuring safe air travel.
Airbus' A320 family has achieved a significant milestone, becoming the most-delivered jetliner of all time. Meanwhile, India's Navi Mumbai International Airport, a quarter-century in the making, has opened to help alleviate pressure on Mumbai's overburdened airport. Despite these positive developments, the US federal government shutdown continues to impact air travel, with air traffic controllers working without pay and causing delays at major airports.
