End of an era.
The iconic Air India building has been now been officially taken over by the Maharashtra Govt.
During privatization of Air India, the Central Govt. put the company's non-core assets for sale.
GoM purchased the building for Rs. 1601 crore in 2024.

@AviationAll_ @BLRAviation The 'babyBus' fleet was relatively small and hence always fun to spot.
Here's my shot of SCF arriving at BOM in 2019.

Etihad switched to their A380 on EY204 to BOM beginning 1st May 2016.
This photo was taken exactly a decade ago, on 4th May 2016.

This day a decade ago! An iPhone shot of EY’s A380 about to touch down at BOM.
This was the view from my classroom at Holy Cross high school, Kurla. Planespotting was our unofficial extra-curricular activity 😁

@AviationAll_ I remember this Happy day for us teenage Avgeeks at BOM!
Rushing to JariMari after school to catch a sight of the new airline! ❤️
What a lovely collection of tails in the background!

@BLRAviation @AviationAll_ @IndiGo6E @qatarairways Outcome of the "Lovers spat" between QR and Airbus, it seems.
Airbus cancelled the 50 A321 order and QR moved to MAX. Then when the 'lovers' patched up, QR threw the MAX sub-fleet out and replaced them with these conveniently sourced, single-class A321s, which served 6E's routes.

All Four of IndiGo's Wet-Leased A321neos (A7-AJD/E/F/G) from Qatar Airways, that have been Parked in India for Over 2 Months are Set to Resume Operations from May! 🇮🇳🇶🇦

Speaking of B747s, i saw another Queen the other day.
This freighter flying for Magma airlines arriving in style at Colombo airport while i was waiting to board a QR 77W to DOH!

[Trinidade Gois @flyingTrini]

What a privilege to be able to watch that surprise 'wing wave' (along with dozens of AvGeeks) from outside the airfield perimeter, two years ago!

[VT-VLO @Vinamralongani]

Two years ago today, India and @airindia bid farewell to the Queen of the skies, VT-EVA (now registered N940AS).
The wing wave post departure from Mumbai for Rosewell, USA made this final goodbye ever so special.

Colours of Air India group, spotted earlier this morning at BOM!

@khabri_lal makes a good point on the topic of Indian airline companies choosing foreign CEOs more often than not.

Here's a Complete Look at Air India's Latest Showstopper, the Retrofitted Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner 🇮🇳

Exciting Times Ahead for Indian Aviation, Especially for Air India!

[Swapnil Srivastav @theswapnilsri]

Something small happened on my flight yesterday.

IndiGo flight. Sitting next to a guy, well put together, well dressed. The kind of person you’d point to and say “educated, aware.”

He finishes his snack. Looks at the trash in his hand. And places it on the floor under the seat in front. Not accidentally. Deliberately.

The cabin crew came through for trash collection. Did their job perfectly. Collected from everyone’s hands, every tray table. The stuff on the floor, easy to miss from that angle, stayed.

We landed. His cups and food box were still sitting there on the aircraft floor.

And I just sat with this feeling I couldn’t quite name.

It wasn’t anger. It was something closer to disappointment. Or maybe exhaustion.

Because we’ve been having this conversation about civic sense in India for decades now. And nothing moves.

Here’s what I’ve come to believe. It’s not an awareness problem. It’s not an education problem. It’s not even an income problem.

It’s a “whose problem is it” problem.

Most people in India have unconsciously decided that shared spaces, flights, roads, parks, footpaths, are not their responsibility. Someone is paid to clean it. Someone will handle it.

Me? I’m just passing through.

And that mindset is exactly where the problem begins.

Because civic sense isn’t just about what you do. It’s about what you normalize.

Every time someone litters and nobody reacts, the bar drops a little lower.

Every time someone cleans up after themselves in a space nobody’s watching, the bar rises.

We are all, quietly, setting the standard for each other.

Choose the standard you want to live in.

@NimishSalkar @AviationAll_ @ihaviation Probably passenger feedback.

@dipalay @nivedita_bhasin @CaptShaktiLumba Thanks. Is this going to become another restaurant?
