Breakthrough at last!

The FAA has finally certified the 737 MAX 7, after prolonged delays.

Southwest 🇺🇸 will be the launch customer for the smallest member of the 737 family.

🚨A lot is happening for Bengaluru Airport Expansion

New elevated cross taxiway, more taxiways coming airside

T2 expansion going in full swing

Air India wide-body Hanger coming

T3 site finalised and reserved for long term plan

Literally the "BEST" planned airport of India.

[The Indian Aviation Guy 🇮🇳 @TIAG747]

For the first time ever (in a normal month), Bengaluru handled more domestic passengers than Mumbai!

In April 26, domestic pax flows were as follows 👇

Bengaluru: 3178826
Mumbai: 2893286

All of this thanks to IndiGo shifting a chunk of its operations to Navi Mumbai from CSMIA.

18 years ago today, Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru welcomed its first passengers.
Today, @BLRAirport is India’s 3rd busiest airport, the largest in South India and soon home to @airindia's MRO facility.
Spotted the MRO under construction earlier this month.

Glad Boeing upgraded the vertical display so quickly.

Heard from credible sources that Indigo is planning to launch Bangalore to Perth flight on their new XLR plane this year.

That would be great for Indian travellers

1st high definition shots of VT-BWV now christened 'The Flying Canvas' featuring India’s first contemporary art aircraft wrap, created by Osheen Siva for @AirIndiaX.
It is part of a collaboration with the Kochi Biennale taking Indian contemporary art to the skies.

Why does @flightradar24 always show VU-NQB as VT-ANT which is a Boeing 787-8 that flies for @airindia . As far as i have observed, NQB is an Antonov An32 operated by the Indian Air Force. Is this like an ADS-B transmitter or receiver glitch?

🚨 @BLRAirport COO says the airport is targeting a couple of long-haul flights in Europe and the APAC region, including South Korea.

He believes it to be surprising that South Korea is still not connected.

Cathay Pacific is going retro.

Ahead of its 80th anniversary in 2026, an Airbus A350-900 (B-LRJ) has emerged from the HAECO Xiamen hangar wearing the iconic green-and-white “Lettuce Leaf” livery.

That legendary green stripe — which ruled Cathay’s fleet from 1971 to 1994 is expected to take to the skies on 6 Jan.

A perfect blend of heritage and modern aviation 💚
