India lifted a ban on Airbus Group NV A380s from flying into the country, a move that will allow Deutsche Lufthansa AG and Emirates to send the double-decker plane to the world’s second-most populous nation.

Airlines will be allowed to fly the world’s biggest passenger jet to four Indian airports, including New Delhi and Mumbai, the Civil Aviation Ministry said in a statement today. A380 services will be subject to traffic entitlements within bilateral agreements, it said.
