MUMBAI: British Airways on Thursday said it operated a Boeing 777-200 aircraft carrying emergency aid, including oxygen cylinders and concentrators, to Delhi amid the country battling with rising coronavirus cases.
While IAG Cargo and British Airways have maintained a vital air link between London and India throughout the pandemic and sending aid on scheduled flights, this airlift was done through a special charter. It was fully funded by the two companies, according to a release. British Airways said it commissioned a special project team to organise the flight (BA257F), which landed in Delhi at 5:45am (local time) on Thursday.
