'ತೂಗುಸೇತುವೆಗಳ ಸರದಾರ', ಎಂದೇ ಖ್ಯಾತರಾಗಿದ್ದ ಪದ್ಮಶ್ರೀ ಪುರಸ್ಕೃತ ಡಾ. ಗಿರೀಶ್ ಭಾರದ್ವಾಜ್ ಅವರ ನಿಧನದ ಸುದ್ದಿ ತೀವ್ರ ಬೇಸರ ತಂದಿದೆ. ಅವರ ಅಗಲಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ರಾಜ್ಯವು ಅಪರೂಪದ ತಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ಸಾಧಕನೊಬ್ಬನನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಂತಾಗಿದೆ.
ದೇಶದಾದ್ಯಂತ 140ಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ತೂಗುಸೇತುವೆಗಳನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದ್ದ ಗಿರೀಶ್ ಭಾರದ್ವಾಜ್ ಅವರು, ಕಡಿದಾದ ಗ್ರಾಮೀಣ ಭಾಗಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂಪರ್ಕ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಜನರ ಬದುಕನ್ನು ಸುಗಮಗೊಳಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ಇವರ ಈ ನಿಸ್ವಾರ್ಥ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನ ಸೇವೆಗೆ ಮನಸೋತ ಗ್ರಾಮಸ್ಥರು ಇವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಯಿಂದ 'ಸುಳ್ಯದ ವಿಶ್ವೇಶ್ವರಯ್ಯ' ಎಂದೇ ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
ಡಾ. ಗಿರೀಶ್ ಭಾರದ್ವಾಜ್ ಅವರ ಆತ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಸದ್ಗತಿ ಸಿಗಲಿ. ಅವರ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಹಾಗೂ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಈ ದುಃಖವನ್ನು ಭರಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಭಗವಂತ ನೀಡಲಿ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.
ಓಂ ಶಾಂತಿ.

@DjsAviation 1. 787-10 by American Airlines to replace their aging 47 777-200ERs
2. Air France- KLM Group, no Boeing Aircraft backlog, 33 777-200ERs (18 Air France & 15 KLM) are getting replaced by A350-900
3. Air India, Convertion of 20 options to firm orders.
I dug around to find out about the #AirIndia YVR flight of 19th March, since Air Canada also has the 777-200 LRs, and they are, in fact, based in YVR for YVR-SYD & SIN.
So why did a 777-200 LR take off & burn 8 hours of precious ATF and return to base?
The catch, as I discovered after digging through regulations, lay in the regulatory provisions of Transport Canada.
As per Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), and Commercial Air Services rules Foreign airlines can only operate under the terms of their FAOC (Foreign Air Operators Certificate).
Airline Operators must declare the following well in advance :-
✈️ Type of aircraft, its airworthiness, its configuration & approvals for that specific route.
✈️ The airline must also supply
“a copy of a valid Certificate of Airworthiness for each aircraft intended to be operated in Canada”
✈️maintenance schedules for each aircraft
✈️approvals tied to operations specifications
✈️ Under the Foreign Air Operators Certificate, airlines are bound to register their aircraft type, model, seat configuration etc and if its a leased aircraft, details of Pilot training on type etc
Air India had declared & filed paperwork for the schedule for all its 777-300 ERs on the Del/YVR route, and for the Del/YYZ route had filed both 777-300 ER & the 777-200 LR.
🎯 The Penalty for operating a wrong aircraft
💰Upto a $100,000 fine for each instance
❌ Suspend FAOC or Cancellation for that route
🛬 Temp Ban into Canada
⚖️ Legal Action under the Aeronautics Act
@BLRAviation@saybwala@varunb777 #aviation #avgeeks
@wingXaviation@DOTCOM_SUN Yes, by the end of March/Early April last Ex-Delta B777-200LR will be returned back lessor.
Air India 777 fleet will be down to 19 777-300ERs out of which 6 are Ex-Etihad
@TIAG747 Currently this route is served by VT-AEE & VT-AEI 777-200LRs (ex-delta). Air India is retiring its leased 777-200LRs by March 2026. VT-AEF & VT-AEG are already retired, VT-AEH is stored since Jan 2nd.
@AviationAll_ 2 Air India Express 737-800s were lost in accidents

Aug 7th 2020 - VT-AXH skidded off the tabletop runway in Kozhikode, killing 21 people.
