She was told she couldn't become a pilot. She refused to give up. In 1994, she became one of the first 14 women selected to join the Air Force Academy. Today, she commands a Boeing 787 for Air India.

In an open letter to every girl Capt. Archana Kapoor says: Self-belief is often the only difference between a dream that stays a dream and one that takes flight.

Celebrating the dreams, courage, and determination of every girl.

Heartwarming story of two siblings from Sagolband Wahengbam Leikai, Imphal, Manipur

@ManipurTimes @TheSangaiExpres @ImphalFreePress @PoknaphamNews @epaomanipur @Bimol_Akoijam @manipurmygov

[Air India Newsroom @AirIndia_News]

Long before they shared the skies, they shared a home.

With an 8-year age gap between them, Sureiya was always the elder sister he looked up to. Growing up in Manipur, Rohit watched in awe as she became the first in the family to pursue a career in aviation in 2014. He listened to stories from her travels, waited for her to return home from faraway destinations, and quietly nurtured a dream of his own.

Years later, he followed in her footsteps and joined Air India.

Today, they share more than childhood memories. They share early morning reports, long flights, changing rosters, airport standbys, and the unique comfort of having someone who understands exactly what the job demands.
And while Rohit still sees the sister who inspired him to dream bigger, Sureiya says there are moments now when she finds herself looking up to her younger brother too, proud of the person and professional he has become.

She still worries about whether he's eaten. He still calls to check how her day has been.
They tease each other, laugh together, share cab rides home after duty, and find comfort in the little moments between flights.

Because while destinations may change and journeys may take them across continents, some things remain constant.

The bond between a brother and sister.

This Raksha Bandhan, celebrating a connection that feels like home, even at 35,000 feet❤️✈️

Tag the sibling who feels like home no matter where life takes you.

Air India has voluntarily undertaken a testing programme covering all pilots, beyond regulatory requirements in line with our unwavering commitment to safety and professionalism.

As the process is ongoing, we urge media and other stakeholders to refrain from speculation or reporting based on unverified or unsubstantiated information. Any assessment should await the completion of the process and verified facts.

[Air India Newsroom @AirIndia_News]

The flag of free India was first unfurled neither on land nor at sea, but quite significantly, aboard an Air India aircraft.

Here’s a remarkable chapter from our history.

On 22 July 1947, the Constituent Assembly adopted the National Flag in its present tricolour form.

Just days before Independence, Vijayalakshmi Pandit was appointed independent India’s first Ambassador to the USSR.

On 3 August 1947, a special Air India flight carried her to Moscow. The aircraft flew bearing the newly adopted tricolour, marking the first time the flag of independent India was unfurled.

Before the nation awoke to Independence on 15 August 1947, the tricolour had already taken wing aboard an Air India aircraft, carrying India’s hopes, identity and sovereignty to the world.

Today, as the new Air India builds for the future, we remain proud to carry that spirit forward.

‼️ #FakeNews Alert
Claims that 11 of Air India’s 26 Boeing 787-8 aircraft are grounded are factually inaccurate.

Of these aircraft:
✈️ 3 are undergoing retrofit to bring refreshed cabin interiors and an upgraded experience to customers
✈️ 4 are in scheduled maintenance (C-check/D-check)
✈️ 1 is undergoing regular line maintenance
✈️ 1 is scheduled to fly back to India
✈️ 2 are in service.

Planned maintenance or upgrades are not the same as "grounded aircraft".

For accurate information, please rely only on official Air India channels.

Flew Air India to London and loved the experience. Everyone talks about the aircraft. I'd like to talk about the people. Warm, caring and attentive - the kind of hospitality that has always made the Maharaja special. The new fleet is on its way & with service like this already in place, the Maharaja is well on his way to topping the very best in the world.
Aircraft can be upgraded. Hospitality is built over generations. And at that the Maharaja remains unmatched…both On Ground & On Air. @airindia

PS - Met Naveen Shikha on ground - an ex Taj - he shines with the athithi devo bhava culture on arrival

The Assam Tribune remains among the few truly independent media in India still standing tall, rooted in credibility and public trust across generations. In an era of noise, institutions like this matter more than ever.

[The Assam Tribune @assamtribuneoff]

The Assam Tribune is NOT FOR SALE

Quite remarkable, really, how a single unverified Facebook post managed to become “breaking news” for so many people and media portals overnight.

Since May 24, claims about The Assam Tribune allegedly being sold to Gautam Adani for Rs 420 crores have been circulating widely, all stemming from one Facebook post by Gyanen Chakraborty. From there, the rumour was amplified by prominent personalities and even media outlets, many of whom apparently felt verification was an unnecessary formality.

No official confirmation. No credible source. No due diligence. Just pure confidence and a share button.

It took 88 years to build the trust and legacy of The Assam Tribune — from Radha Govinda Baruah to the current generation, the family has worked tirelessly for the people of the region, often at the cost of their own personal lives, to uphold the values and credibility of this institution.

For nearly nine decades, The Assam Tribune has remained committed to preserving the trust of its readers, and it will continue to do so in the years ahead.

In an era where everyone claims to value journalism and fact-checking, it’s fascinating to see how quickly baseless speculation can be repackaged as “news” simply because it trends online.

Maybe next time, before turning rumours into headlines and WhatsApp University into a newsroom, try verifying facts first. It might sound old-fashioned, but that’s usually how credible journalism works.

P.S. — Strict legal action will be initiated against anyone involved in creating, spreading, or amplifying such baseless and defamatory allegations.
