Remarks: This was my first time catching a 777-200LR, got to say i love the mix of stubby body yet it has the raked tips! Looking great departing 27L as AI116! (5D2/70-200F2.8LIS)
Remarks: The Dreamliner is welcomed to Bangalore during its first flight from New Delhi by a water salute. Before the grounding, AI used to operate two daily flights to Bangalore using the Dreamliners.
Remarks: Part of the "Kingfisher Graveyard" at Bangalore airport following the carrier's grounding. Its mainly ATRs that are stored at BIAL, but this A320 and A321 were also parked. They have since been moved to a different location in the airport to free up these frequently used remote bays.
Remarks: The newest "Dreamliner" if it can be called so in AI fleet. AI took delivery of this bird on Jan 3rd 2013. This was a non-revenue ferry flight from Bangalore to park the aircraft at Air India's hangar in Mumbai following the grounding of all Boeing 787 aircraft around the world.
