@Vinamralongani @AirIndiaX @airindia Hope we get a glimpse of the Pilot uniform soon!

Here is perhaps the first full glimpse of the new @AirIndiaX crew uniform which is to be launched later this year. The uniform looks nothing like the @airindia uniform and stands apart for all the right reasons. Also, love these new ads. #AvGeek

On the Passing of First Officer Tarun Singh The aviation fraternity mourns the loss of First Officer Tarun Singh, of Air India,who passed away while on a duty layover in Bali. To his family, loved ones, and colleagues, we offer our deepest condolences. A pilot’s life is defined by duty, sacrifice, and quiet professionalism—often lived far from home, in service of others. In passing, as in service, dignity matters. Those who dedicate their lives to the skies deserve more than muted acknowledgment or careful omission; they deserve to be named, honored, and remembered for who they were—not quietly folded into anonymity. Clear skies and tailwinds, First Officer Tarun Singh. Your name, your service, and your memory endure.

@_akash_707 @varunb777 @AviationAll_ @AirIndiaX Boeing did not alter the livery, AIX did it to fit Boeings paintshop time-frame.

@thealphapilot1 @varunb777 @AviationAll_ @AirIndiaX As far as I understand, Boeing will never alter a Customer’s livery on their own as per their convenience. They have happily painted the new Alaska airline livery as per the original rendering (which is having similar complexity in terms of layer of colours)

Air India Express has Taken Delivery of its 53rd 737 MAX 8 Aircraft, VT-NTB 🇮🇳 This is the 2nd 737-8 Inducted by Air India Express this Year. No New 737-8s for Air India Express have been Spotted. 📸 Planesguy (flickr.com/photos/planesg…)

@varunb777 @AviationAll_ @AirIndiaX It's not a "wrong design". Boeing cannot keep a plane in the paintshop for more than 3-4 days. Some modifications to the complex AIX livery were necessary to maintain this time frame. All factory fit AIX 737s will bare the same livery.

@AviationAll_ I can't believe Air India Express has still not taken up to Boeing about the wrong design on the tail. @AirIndiaX

@aerowanderer Wing sweep? 😅

Air India B787-8 VT-ANK cruising at 37,000 feet en route Melbourne from Delhi flying above Kuala Lumpur. That wing flex though🤌🏻

@AviationAll_ @flightradar24 🤣🤣

When VT-ANT Appears on @flightradar24 and it's Not that Indian Air Force AN-32 Flying Over Coimbatore 😝

Looks like Capt flying IZK will be called for chai paani...

@B777200F When entering the rwy, you do not have to follow the yellow line. The yellow line is for vacating the runway. Line up using a 90° degree turn to maximise runway length

Never understood the obsession of people making wide turns at holding points & line up for runway. Don’t leave the YELLOW line, a few amoungst of us learnt the hard way. 😏 YELLOW LINE IS LIFE.

All airlines have been asked to thank a minister for not raising ATF prices per the formula on social media

@rpramodhkumar They do

I doubt if any of our arff have transponders

@27saurabhsinha @AirIndiaX @DelhiAirport @airindia @IndiGo6E @DGCAIndia @AAI_Official Eagle ❌️ Black Kite ✅️

"Eagle very close on landing roll,’ reports 🧑‍✈️ of @AirIndiaX IX 1037 while landing on @DelhiAirport runway 09 today Alert ATC immediately asks 2 incoming ✈️ - @airindia 1892 from Patna, @IndiGo6E 2088 from Madurai - to go-around timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india… @DGCAIndia @AAI_Official

Thankfully this will stop foreign based (Pak) accounts spending so much time commenting & trying to post anti-India stuff

@B777200F 🎯

@thealphapilot1 Yes elevation was a dead giveaway 😛

Can anyone guess where am I based on the watch face!

If you’re a pilot or cabin crew member who has faced challenges reporting fatigue within your organisation, I’d like to hear from you. Have there been instances of pushback or punitive action? Please feel free to reach out via DM or email me at jagriti.chandra@gmail.com. I’m currently working on a story on this issue.

A superior pilot is someone who uses his superior decisions so he doesn’t have to use his superior flying skills. Again both of them are safe & excellent. Just a thought 💭 ✈️

@AnchitGupta9 @AnchitGupta9 Wasn't he flying the Kiran solo for the CGP Flypast?

If I’m not mistaken, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh has, as Chief, flown solo on three different types: the MiG-21, MiG-29 and Tejas. As a test pilot, he would have maintained his currency. Even so, I cannot recall any previous Chief doing quite this much.

@TRE_320 @beatsinbrief Let's not forget Corendon 😆

@beatsinbrief Very nice picture you have there of two ladies in a Boeing 737 cockpit which is an aircraft type that IndiGo doesn’t own or operate 🙄

🚨 IndiGo becomes the first Indian airline to employ over 1,000 women pilots, marking a major milestone for gender diversity in aviation.

He dog whistling attack on the factory! I’m sure the agencies will keep sleeping until something happens. Pick this person and enquire about his motives. @hydcitypolice

Before the Judgement, Remember the Pilot When an aircraft crashes,either civil or military, the first response should be grief. The second should be patience. In aviation, the truth rarely comes quickly. Yet the reaction often depends on who was flying the aircraft. When a commercial airliner crashes, the speculation begins almost immediately. The people in the cockpit — often among the dead — become the first subjects of analysis. Arm chair experts emerge from the woodwork and flood the airwaves and social media with cacophony and hypotheses. Flight paths are replayed, cockpit decisions debated, and within hours the competence of the pilots is questioned. At times so is their integrity and mental fitness. When a military aircraft crashes in peacetime, the tone is different. The pilots are remembered first as professionals who served. Their loss is met with respect. Both reactions are human. But the reality is the same. Whether they fly passenger aircraft or military jets, pilots belong to one of the most demanding professions in the world. Years of training, constant evaluation and immense responsibility lead them to the cockpit. And when accidents happen, they are rarely simple. More often they are the result of a chain of factors — technical, environmental and human — that investigators take months to piece together. In commercial aviation there is another pressure as well: liability. Accidents bring enormous legal and financial consequences with commercial consequences. Airlines, powerful lobbies (manufacturers and insurers) move quickly to protect their interests. In that early rush to explain what happened, the pilots — who are no longer alive to speak for themselves — can become the easiest place for blame to settle. Military pilots fully deserve the respect they receive but so do commercial pilots. Before the theories begin and before conclusions are drawn, it is worth remembering something simple. Every cockpit held professionals who woke that morning expecting to do their job to the best of their professional abilities and return home. Some never did. And the dignity we offer them in death should not depend on the aircraft they flew, the uniform they wore, or how quickly the world demands an explanation.
