First flight was on August 21, 2009. _________________ एअर इंडिया AIR INDIA Fly DVD --- Desh VIDESH Desh Back to top karatecatman Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 8314 Location: Chennai -- INDIA Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 2:03 pm    Post subject: The last one after this bird will be VT-ALR "Meghalaya" (777-300ER). Wish they called it "Meghawati Sukarnoputri". After this we'll have to watch Air India and Boeing decide on whether to call the next 6 777 aircraft on order as either cancellation or deferment. Boeing would like to use the D-word though. _________________ एअर इंडिया AIR INDIA Fly DVD --- Desh VIDESH Desh Back to top 747-237 Member Joined: 11 Jun 2007 Posts: 1442 Location: SRQ Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 5:46 pm    Post subject: karatecatman wrote: Next on line is Air India 777-300ER VT-ALQ "Manipur".

Boeing would like to use the D-word though. I think VT-ALR "Meghalaya" is being preped for delivery soon. She was moved from the flightline yesterday. KCM-any clues on the delivery date ? KPAE will look very different soon, with absolutely no AI tails after ALR leaves. KCM - any update on the fate of the last 6 77Ws : VT-ALS 36317 APR 10 VT-ALT 36318 MAY 10 VT-ALU 36319 JULY 10 VT-ALV 36320 NOV 10 VT-ALW 36321 MAY 11 VT-ALX 36322 AUG 11 Back to top karatecatman Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 8314 Location: Chennai -- INDIA Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 10:30 pm    Post subject: There's runway closure from September 2 to 12, but scheduled tentatively for Sept. 17 -- VT-ALR. Air India and Boeing still in discussion for the last 6. AI wants cancellation, Boeing is pushing hard for deferment till late-2011-2012. Will reconfirm all this. _________________ एअर इंडिया AIR INDIA Fly DVD --- Desh VIDESH Desh Back to top 747-237 Member Joined: 11 Jun 2007 Posts: 1442 Location: SRQ Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 7:43 pm    Post subject: AI last 777 (for now) VT-ALR "Meghalaya" had it's maiden flt. yesterday.
