@bodkeitis Aren't the windows supposed to be kept untouched according to the rules? I remember similar ads were put on Kinglong buses and were removed due to govt rules.

@Osinttechnical Apparently they already picked up some more 340-600s after this. Sad for the 777 though.

One the former Singapore Airlines 777s smuggled to Iran last year was destroyed by Israeli forces at Mashhad Airport in late March. The 777 had been flying for Iran’s state airline, primarily serving Chinese destinations.

@kushanmitra 900ERs were procured used from other carriers. Later moved to Jet connect and Spice, before exiting India totally.

@akbars600 And the 900ERs were all allocated to S2 if I'm correct, yellow winglets :-)

What is the rarest aircraft type you have flown? Flew on the standard 737-900 (52 built) thanks to Jet Airways VT-JGD/JGD operating the Delhi - Mumbai shuttle; but the one that I consider myself lucky to fly on is the CRJ-1000 (63 built) of Air Nostrum operating for Lufthansa between Frankfurt and Luxembourg.

@akbars600 BLR must have been an infrequent rotation as I think they only did BOM-DEL-BOM. IIRC they had 28 or 32 J-Class and never got the winglets that the other NGs in the fleet, even the ex-Ryanair planes got.

Access to Mumbai Central railway station from the recently opened Bellasis Bridge is via the footpath, with commuters walking in from either end of the bridge to enter the station.

JSW Motor’s Play: Own the Ecosystem, Not Just the Product ! JSW Motor isn’t just launching cars. They’re trying to own the stack manufacturing, supply chain, tech access, and customer lifecycle. ✅ Localisation-first ecosystem ✅ $2–3B committed ✅ 3.5L capacity plant ✅ Strong supplier mix (UNO Minda, Bridgestone, etc.) ✅ MG synergy in play JSW could skip the typical “new OEM struggle phase” and scale fast. ❓ Can JSW Motor execute this full-stack play better than legacy OEMs? #JSWMotor #AutoIndustry #EVIndia #MakeInIndia #MGMotor 📸Credit : @akbars600

@KiranHe37583644 @MumbaiMetro3 It is not struggling tbh. Yes, lower than expected but with more lines opening it will become better!!. And even if that's the case, doesn't mean you make your workers work in unsafe conditions.

₹37,000 crore on the Aqua Line. World-class metro. But basic worker safety? Missing. No gloves. No PPE. Cleaning stairs with bare hands. This isn’t oversight. It’s neglect. @MumbaiMetro3 please give your workers PPE kits!!

As an Aga Khan facility is prepped to host Iran/USA negotiations in Islamabad, it is a great time to recall the Ismaili Imamat's role in bringing Reagan and Gorbachev together including at the 1985 Geneva Summit, as John @Baird had aptly noted in an article published May 15, 2017

@VishalBhargava5 BKC has no proper footpath...the bridge on Kurla side is badly lit with half made skywalk material and what not blocking the way. More than 10k people use that stretch daily on foot....and we want pod taxis.

Ladies and gentlemen: India’s most moronic infrastructure project is happening. The pod-taxi in Mumbai - from Kurla to BKC. ₹1000 cr project. Service of 8.85km. Fare per passenger: ₹21/km. We need to rid ourselves of the delusion that it has anything to do with infrastructure
