I think this would be among a handfull of planes or maybe the only one to have Star Alliance livery at the time of delivery.
btw! where is AI using these 20+ birds.. I mean on which all routes. _________________ [url=http://openflights.org/user/aseemsjohri]

From its fleet size, AI need 2 planes in the *A livery: they have three. VT-ESF, a venerable double bogey A320, VT-ALJ `Bihar' a B77W, and VT-ANU.

The longer/dense domestic routes: BLR & CCU, MAA at times.
Internationally: most of the medium haul routes: UK and Europe, South-East Asia, the far east and Japan, Australia, and on certain middle east routes. A bit more synergy and coordinated planning between the different units, and this can really be the game-changer for AI, unlike the situation today where even the Dream)liner's economics does not do well for the airline.
Cheers, Sumantra. |

I echo Aseem's question - I know AI has launched a lot of new routes but it is amazing they are using all of their 22 787s. Good for them if they are. |

22 have been delivered out of a total order of 27.
And none of them are being converted to 789s. _________________ I don't know which is the more pampered bunch : AI's widebodies (the aunties) or Jet's widebodies (the planes).
