Maharaja gets its first new magic carpet - Airbus A350

Saturday saw the advent of the much-awaited new era of back-in-Tata-Group Air India when the Maharaja's first Airbus A350 flew into Delhi. Part of the record 470-aircraft order placed this February, the wide body aircraft will in about a month start flying domestic routes and then by late next year embark on international routes. The plane's registration is VT-JRA - with the JR series being a homage to the father of Indian aviation, J R D Tata, - and it is the first bird to be sporting the new AI livery. https://ift.tt/g27hMmq
