A faulty wing flap forced a Boeing 737-800 to make an emergency landing shortly after take-off in the fourth incident for the aircraft maker in three days. United Airlines flight 166 took off from Fukuoka Airport in Japan late last week en route to Guam in the western Pacific. Minutes after take-off, the jet landed back at Fukuoka after a wing flap was found to be malfunctioning, The Independent reported. None of the 49 people on board, including 43 passengers and six crew members, were injured, but the airport was closed temporarily, Simple Flying reported. This is the latest in a series of incidents involving Boeing aircraft in recent days.<br/>

Observing a strong demand for travel between India and Europe, Air India is enhancing its schedule to three European cities – Amsterdam, Milan, and Copenhagen. The carrier has progressively expanded its international offerings over the last year and a half, with overseas travel resuming and its fleet size also increasing. Air India is doubling down on some of its European destinations as demand for overseas travel from India increases. The airline has announced that it will boost the frequency of its flights to Amsterdam, Milan, and Copenhagen from Delhi. From June 22, Air India will increase its Amsterdam flights from four weekly to daily and Milan flights from five weekly to daily. Furthermore, it will add another flight to Copenhagen, taking the frequency on the route to 5x weekly. Campbell Wilson, CEO & MD, Air India, commented, “The expansion of our global route network continues to be a key priority for us in Air India’s ongoing transformation journey. The increased frequency to Europe demonstrates this as well as the growing demand for travel between India and Europe, and we are committed to providing our customers with greater choice and convenience.”<br/>
