Happy moment for me: Glad to see my hand made ground handling equipment piece on this month's @jetairways Jet Wings inflight magazine. Big thanks to @seancouto Sir for the kind gesture on deciding to publish my work. Special mention to @khabri_lal for inspiring me on this.

The red & blue tails of the 737-200 were the lifeline of Northeast India which later expanded with ATR42 induction. Alliance Air was vital in connecting the people of NE to the rest of India through Kolkata. Those CD flight numbers along with IC always revoke the nostalgia.

Two new FLY91 routes took off today — Hyderabad to Vijayawada and Hyderabad to Rajahmundry — and it takes our count to 11 destinations! At both airports, we were greeted by ceremonial water salutes, first passengers holding on to commemorative boarding passes, and a lot of quiet pride in the background. The Vijayawada–Hyderabad flight was inaugurated by Union Minister of Civil Aviation Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu virtually. Also present was the Minister for Mines and Geology and Excise in the Government of Andhra Pradesh Kollu Ravindra, Airport Director at Vijayawada Airport M. Lakshmikantha Reddy, and FLY91 Chief Revenue Officer Ashutosh Chitnis among those there to mark the moment. Today, we start with daily services for Vijayawada and Rajahmundry, and from 17th April, both routes move to double-daily flights. Just four months into the year, and this is already our third set of new routes alongside Kochi–Agatti, along with the addition of our sixth aircraft last month. It's been a busy, exciting phase for us. This is what #BharatUnbound looks like in action! #Vijayawada #Rajahmundry #Hyderabad #Fly91 #BharatUnbound

Our CRO, Ashutosh Chitnis, sharing his thoughts at our inaugural Hyderabad 🔁 Vijayawada flight today.

@CaptShaktiLumba @nivedita_bhasin Right sir !

@dipalay @nivedita_bhasin :-( VT-EGM if I remember correctly:

Coming to #Vijayawada is incomplete without visiting this iconic Combi B732 VT-EGM. Once an imp Combi #B737 in erstwhile IC fleet, today rusting quitely at a corner in Vijayawada. I last flew on it in 2005, nostalgic to see this again. @nivedita_bhasin @CaptShaktiLumba

@flyingTrini @nivedita_bhasin @CaptShaktiLumba No .. lying unused from 2023.

@dipalay @nivedita_bhasin @CaptShaktiLumba Thanks. Is this going to become another restaurant?

@flyingTrini @nivedita_bhasin @CaptShaktiLumba Details of the current owner thats it.

@dipalay @nivedita_bhasin @CaptShaktiLumba What does that notice pasted on the nose say?

@nivedita_bhasin @CaptShaktiLumba Ma'am, I am sure you will be having lots of memories flying VT-EGM.

@dipalay @CaptShaktiLumba 🥲🥲🥲

We hope your day is filled with small joys and moments that make you slow down and smile. Happy Easter! #fly91 #eastersunday #easter #happyeaster

The one thing that needs aggressive promotion is the bus service between Panaji-Mopa Airport in #Goa Comfortable, time saving & value for money. Thanks to @KadambaLimited for this initiation. People should opt for this bus service for a better hassle-free journey to/from GOX.

The incident took place near my home town #Silchar in #Assam Flying around this time of the year can be tough & rough in #Northeast 🇮🇳 with occurrence of the famous #Kalboisakhi thunderstorm. Today there is technology but in those days it was too difficult to fly through them.

Read the stories of Bharat! Grab a chapter from Amar Chitra Katha's variety of stories onboard the amazing butterflies of @fly91_IN An unique experience to cherish. So next time you fly with the butterfly, do keep an eye on the ACK stories waiting for you in the seat pockets 😉

One of the brand new butterfly 🦋 of the Goan fleet ! The livery reflects the beauty of the coastal glow of Bharat. The eyebrow windshield makes it look even more beautiful. #BharatUnbound #FLY91

This is what 5 AM looks like for us. Quiet. Ready. About to take flight! #Fly91 #BharatUnbound #atr #mopaairport

Visiting #Mizoram? Make sure to go to Champhai - I call it as the most beautiful district in the state filled with natural beauty that includes paddy fields, mountains, flora & fauna. With a huge tourism angle, #Champhai is Mizoram's one of the rising district.

So good to see VT-SCU getting a new life after retirement. Probably the first fully serviceable A319 aircraft restaurant in the western sector. SCU was scrapped in Mumbai, one of the few A319s which retired in Mumbai after COVID storage. #A319 #AircraftRestaurant

@joinsumit Congratulations and best wishes Sumit ji !

Happy to announce new innings with @EconomicTimes as Consulting Editor. Will continue to build my own venture & India’s first digital global news platform Voice of India World. Looking forward to this exciting journey ahead!!

#Goa Beyond Beaches ! A quick trip to #DivarIsland 🏝️ helped me to understand the actual beauty of the state where island like this contains history, heritage, tradition & peace at every corner. Beaches are attractive but the real attraction is exploring peach & history.

@LiveFromALounge Thanks for tagging Ajay Ji, will definitely keep it in my "To visit list" the next time I plan for Pattaya.

@dipalay something for you to track
