I have decided to start a new thread: Military aviation and Global Aviation news from the desk of Sabya99. This will be a part of Military Aviation and Space forum and will not overlap with Kolkata airport news as it used to be in the past. I invite all my visitors to look at the new thread.

Hi Fly, a boutique aviation company, was behind the flight. The company specializes in wet leases, which means they hire out both aircraft and air crew and are responsible for handling insurance, maintenance and other logistics.

I object to the format of the thread. We are not following the news here! Which of those topics are we discussing here? You've named a whole lot of them. If you give attention or notice the structure of the Military Aviation & Space section, we discuss one topic at a time. This is what I would like to suggest here. Therefore, I am now going to lock the thread. Feel free to start a new thread on just one news topic that you'd like to discuss here today.

Thank you
