Sukhoi will accompany AI’s new Boeings.

NEW DELHI: Indian airlines are currently making every effort to highlight the cutting-edge aircraft they are integrating into their fleets. The Boeing 777-200 LR will arrive in India in VVIP style from Air India months after Kingfisher brought the A-380 here for its second birthday celebration. Three fighter jets will follow the aircraft when it enters Indian airspace from Seattle and will accompany it to Delhi. According to sources, the DGCA has issued a very strict authorization for this special escort flight. The Indian Air Force is claimed to have volunteered its most modern fighter, the Sukhoi, to do the honor for AI’s plane. Every plane must maintain visual contact with the others. The Boeing 777 will have to fly alone to Delhi if this can not happen due to inclement weather, according to reports. This event’s date has not yet been decided. On Thursday, the jet will touch down in Delhi. But on Saturday in the Palam technical region, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will officially introduce the National Aviation Company of India, which was created by merging AI and IA.
