For the past six days, Air India’s Boeing 777 aircraft that travels 12,500km from here to Newark in the US non-stop in over 15 hours has been forced to fly lighter because the monsoon weather conditions and obstacles near the airport would have otherwise made the takeoff roll and subsequent climb of this super heavy plane unsafe.
