Welcome home to India's, and @IndiGo6E 's first @Airbus A320XLR! Boasting a massive range of 8700 KM's, the aircraft is all set to debut on the Delhi Athens and Mumbai Athens route later this month! #avgeek #aviation #A321XLR #IndiGo #XLR

For anyone speculating- the reason for the halt in Abu Dhabi was not the range of the aircraft. Thankyou!

As the upsetting tragedy of #AI171 remains fresh amongst families, industry colleagues, and professionals, there’s atleast one thing we already know- how low our media can stoop. If reporting a month back did not make it evident, reporting now will.

There’s only a few I ever trusted, and rightfully so. The others, I’m speechless. From picking up AC and IFE not working, just for their TRP, to starting AI use already, to recommending crash movies as clickbait. Honestly, kisi aur ki nahi, kam se kam apni izzat hi rakhlo.

Many thanks for the wonderful opportunity! My humor makes up for my looks 😂
Our new edition (Vayu 2 Mar/Apr 2025) is out now!! Have a look or download at: vayuaerospace.in/Issue/20250… Cover image: At Aero India 2025, the two 5th generation Russian Su–57 and American F–35 crossing paths. Brilliant photo by the cool dude Shrey Chopra (Instagram and Twitter/X: @captchops ) Besides being a decent and handsome (??🤪) chap, he has a great sense of humour as well!

Newest kid on the block! @airindia 's VT-RTN, first first A320neo to sport the new livery, and the first in India with the swanky racoon mask! RTN stands as a tribute to Ratan Tata for a new and upcoming Air India!

Replying to @MunCorpGurugram
@MunCorpGurugram @OfficialGMDA @TrafficGGM Genuine question- what is the point of having so many red lights on a single intersection when only one is working? Additionally, no timers are displayed on major red lights; just two - - #gurgaonpolice #gurgaontrafficpolice #gmda

@gurgaonpolice , no response previously. Here’s another one. Red lights not working and two bars. Traffic backed up everywhere. Near cloud9 Sohna Road

Can someone please explain what @reliancejio @JioCare is on about. I bought an IR package for 1100 (which happens to be the only useless package available with them) yet everytime I pay my bill, it’s more like 700-800 INR despite the pack. What is the pack for then? Useless.
