Re: Return of the prodigal son - Air Deccan BOM-ISK-PNQ

It’s a pity. Both Air Deccan and Air Odisha website have been taken down. They are gone, Looks like all these UDAAN flights are really a struggle to keep up. Even Supreme Airlines out of Jaipur now trimmed their flights till just 2 destinations. Yeah. I think UDAN Scheme was not well thought throug...

Re: Return of the prodigal son - Air Deccan BOM-ISK-PNQ

Pity Air Deccan were not able to sustain this. But it looked like you had a fun time aboard the Beech 1900 - thank you for sharing this! Seeing as you were so close to the operations, did anyone oppose to your taking pictures? No challenge as such. I was asked not to take photos in Nashik and Pune ...

Re: *NO FLIGHTS* Wobbly Winter '17/18 (6): Himalayas, Palam Air Force Museum, Heavily Delayed Rajdhani Express

Enjoyed this trip. I have a habit of taking train just for the mere reason that a different engine is pulling it or a different type of coach. Have not got a chance to get into 1A in Rajadhani since most of the time the 1A fares match the airline fares. The report was interesting as usual.

Re: Air India Dreamliner DEL-COK and the landing gear fiasco

Air India knows how to make a bad scenario worse After hours of waiting at about 9 the Captain announced we will be taken back to terminal and alternative means of transport arranged. I remember once when there was such an issue with Jet they transferred passengers directly from Aircraft to aircraf...

Air India Dreamliner DEL-COK and the landing gear fiasco

I am an ardent fan of Airliners.net and have been meaning to write a trip report for a long time. Did not get a chance to write till now since I would usually forget to take the photos or record the details. This time I did most of what I can do and it was a pretty happening trip. https://drive.goog...
