We got back from Delhi this afternoon and now we are set to fly off to Dubai for the next few days. Luckily, today there wasn't any rain, making for an excellent Plane Spotting opportunity for me...
An amazing rotation by a British Airways Boeing 777 Speedbird. Notice the spray behind! This was a magical sight!
Waiting to board the Emirates Boeing 777 and enjoying the sight. No matter whichever I visit, I will always have a soft-corner for my home airport - BOM!
An Air-India evening - three sisters from the fleet - a Boeing 777, Boeing 787-8 Dream)liner and the Boeing 747-400...
The Gulf Air Airbus A320 was so parked that I could not get a clear view. A few years back Gulf Air used to operate Airbus A330s from Bahrain into Mumbai, but ops were downgraded to the A320 family, possibly because of the decline of Bahrain economically...
An El Al Boeing 767 - El Al initially commenced ops into Mumbai with a Boeing 747-400 but frequencies were increased and the old workhorse was put into use between Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport and Mumbai...
The Queen, which used to be mainstay of Air-India's long-haul operations till a few years back now rests. The role is now taken up by the young and agile Dream)liners...
Jet Airways stubbies...
ANA which used to fly in a Boeing 737 BBJ from Narita into Mumbai has now upgraded to the Dream)liner, the link with burgeoning ties with Japan is obvious...
Boarded and we are taxiing towards the runway. Nothing's more stunning than Air-India's livery...
And I hope I will be having a good look at the Star of David emblazoned bird from Israel...
And there she is...
And the Etihad Airbus A380 superjumbo just taxied in - Etihad is the third A380 operator to fly into Mumbai after Singapore Airlines and Emirates...
