Auckland’s Lonely Elephant Burma Gets Police Escort To Airport For Flight To Forever Home With Friends In Adelaide

A four-hour flight on a chartered Atlas Air Boeing 747.

Maintenance teams failed to properly secure a borescope plug in the days leading up to the incident.

A look at the US-based airlines that maintain the largest cargo-only fleets.

The airline has experienced multiple tire incidents this year.

All three incidents took place in June.

The airport’s northern runway has now reopened for commercial flights.

That incident marked the second one for the aircraft in two days.

It is unclear exactly when the tire burst, but flight data suggests it may have occurred mid-flight.

A second incident within a week has resulted in an Atlas Air Boeing 747-8F sitting on the ground after its engine pod hit the runway while landing.

Despite challenges, top cargo airlines continue to evolve and expand their fleets.
