The collective incompetence and insensitivity of 12+ Air India cabin crew, the IFS and 4 pilots in holding accountability, reporting the miscreant passenger to authorities and rectifying the situation for the impacted lady is very, very alarming.
A man gets drunk on 14 hour long non-stop Air India flight (NYC-Delhi) and urinates on a female business class passenger, her J seat, purse and shoes. He also exposes his genitals to her for prolonged period, and walks away at the end of the flight with no action taken by airline
The woman then wrote a letter to N. Chandra (Chairman, TATA Sons) after which Air India woke up and sprung into action.

No matter what side of political spectrum one may be on, these are ridiculous prices for a chai snacks concessionaire in a food court at an airport in a developing country, where labor and food prices are still relatively inexpensive vis-a-vis the west.
OMG.
Airport baggage handlers should be made to wear bodycams, or airports need to install CCTV cameras where airport baggage cart loading and unloading happens.

A family member showed me their account last night at dinner. They had 15 years worth of deposits sitting in a money market fund uninvested 🤯
By early 2001, only 2 groups remained in the fray.
"Two left in Indian aviation bids": CNN (Feb 2001)
They were TATA Group + Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Hinduja Group (UK).
Singapore Airlines has a good shot at Air India: Reuters (Nov 2000)
Back then, top airlines Lufthansa, Swissair, Emirates, British Airways, Air France + Delta Airlines, TATA + Singapore Airlines and UK-based Hinduja Group were some of the major airlines/grps in fray for AI stake
@Vimanav @VishalJolapara All thanks to the babus in Air India and MoCA.
Raising capital is also expensive now, so being scrappy and financially prudent matters now.

First time for me overflying the Hindu Kush in daylight and completely captivated by the shear beauty of the mountains. It is extremely rare to fly this close to terrain (we were at FL330 then FL350) and the peaks are only just over 10,000ft beneath us.
The 5 x 777-200LRs from Delta are to be reg:
VT-AEE
VT-AEF
VT-AEG
VT-AEH
VT-AEI
(first of these 77L is due to fly DEL-SIN today)
Three existing LRs to be retained, repaired, upgraded:
VT-ALF Jharkhand
VT-ALG Kerala
VT-ALH Maharashtra
I hope the first A359 is named JRD 🤞🏻
@royalscottking@AlaskaAir@Airbus They are relatively young. Can't they be remarketed and sold off? IMHO, Delta is still flying 30+ year old 757s and A320s.
