@Vinamralongani @airindia @Delta Out of curiosity, how are these codes generated? Like is there a software that does it or ops people do it?

@ECISVEEP person born in Dec 2007 completes 18 years in Dec 2025, but why can't I select any DoB after Oct 2006 for voters id registration? This is the same form to pre register if you're about to turn 18, but can't even be filled after turning 18!

@jsduggal @LiveFromALounge It doesn't matter if you have Maharaja club account, if you book an AIX flight on air india portal as codeshare, you get free meal 😁

@AviationAll_ ALK wasn't just getting maintenance, it was also the interior refresh.

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@AviationAll_ @bfi_watch_ca350 We haven't seen any new 737Max8s for AIX in a while.
Wonder when the next one will enter production.

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@LiveFromALounge I think that will give a tough competition to that AIXs Rs. 13000 shuttle service 😅😄

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@AviationAll_ After this, it'll be interesting to see whether the third line fit 787-9 comes first or the retrofitted 787-8 😄

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@TIAG747 It went to Moses Lake, isn't that like a storage facility?

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@AviationAll_ @janam_parikh PPL is also parked for a while, i believe at Delhi.

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@NeelavBarman @AviationAll_ @hiravaero That should be here by the end of this month or early next month, if things go as planned 🤞

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@AviationAll_ @aneesh_bapaye What's the status of 320neo fleet that has PW engines?

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@adityaksahu2811 @AviationAll_ Not necessarily, if they can't find a new route to deploy her immediately, they can still use her for an existing route suitable where she can replace an old 787-8 or a 777 temporarily.

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@TIAG747 AWB has had its third flight as well yesterday!

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@LiveFromALounge Recaro R7!
That means first A35K for AI 😁.

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@TIAG747 Hosur facility taking its sweet time I suppose? 😅
When was it ferried there exactly?

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

So it seems the next A35K spotted for AI is indeed msn 802, and not 831. Earlier on aviation flights 802 was not added, but it is now. 831 is far ahead, it'll probably enter assembly late this year/early next year.

@N_olliver02 @jigsaw4765 @AviationAll_ @TLSWatch Well the only answer I can think of is, most of those other airlines now have a stable supply, while AI is still waiting for some seat type certifications, plus supply chains. It should be more stabilised by next year 🙂

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@TIAG747 What about interior retrofit of AIX 737Max planes? Seems to have come to a complete hault!

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@TIAG747 TNH seems to be doing regular operations, do we have any reason to believe it might be in queue for refurbishment?

[Pranav Karlekar @KarlekarPranav]

@AviationAll_ @Avgeeker45asx How much more would it have cost them to paint that tail as well 😅
Looks kinda weird
