It is too bad that the Tatas were too sadly short-sighted to keep the aircraft, and use it for a museum, restaurant or hotel 🙁

Everything good and bad comes to an end one day. And so enjoy this moment of the 777s they too will have to say goodbye one day maybe not in my lifetime. I saw Emperor Ashoka Flying into Santa Cruz flew on the KANISHKA about 6 months before it disappeared from the sky over the Atlantic Ocean, read about Emperor Ashoka disappearing minutes after take off… yes there’s a sense of melancholy that the era of the Majestic Aircraft has ended.

Thank God. There should be a limit of 20 years on any operational aircraft! Where is she going? Some people only think of making are just not important.

They are replacing the 747's with new Boeing jets that are much safer, travel faster, further and more energy efficient
