Whale of the Sky, Airbus Beluga takes off from Hyderabad airport

The Airbus Beluga, also known as the 'Whale of the Sky' took off from Hyderabad's RGIA after a 15-hour stopover, heading to Thailand. This marks its third visit to the city, after two earlier landings in December 2022 and August 2023. First deployed in 1995, the Beluga is designed to transport oversized cargo that regular aircraft cannot handle.
