https://www.dnaindia.com/india/repo...ade-aircraft-boeing-777-air-india-one-2837761India is all set to receive its new Plane (Air India One) Boeing 777-300ERs which will be used to fly VVIPs including Prime minister, President, and Vice- President of India, The new plane will be equipped with most advance sophisticated technologies, military defence systems and a reconfigured cabin which includes Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) and Self-Protection Suites (SPS).
The plane will also feature Advanced Electronic Warfare Suites which will not only protect aircraft from any kind of attack from the surface to air but also will be able to take countermeasures in case of an attack.
Earlier, India's VVIPs use to fly in 747 Boeing jets with some basic modifications and which were also used for the general public as well as planes belonging to the Air India fleet. A team of 40 Air India pilots is being trained alongside IAF Pilots to fly the state-of-the-art VVIP planes.
Prime Minister, President, or Vice-President sometimes have to travel long hours in 747 Boeing. However, it is not capable to fly more than 10 hours without refueling,
Top government officials told PTI that a team of senior officials of the central government have gone to the United States to receive the delivery of Special Extra Section Flight (SESF) or VVIP aircraft 'Air India One'. The officials added that another custom-made B777 plane is likely to be received from Boeing in September.
The new aircraft can fly over 17 hours continuously without landing in between for refueling.
Due to the advanced communication system fitted in the aircraft, Prime minister or the President will be able to communicate with the relevant ground staff through video or audio conferencing without a trap.
The New Boeing 777-300ERs will be operated by pilots of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and not of Air India, as earlier.

Elegant the color combination.
Both birds are going to eat up the miles like anything.

"Dubbed India's Air Force One"?
Wow. The desire for skin whitening cream runs especially deep in this particular nation.
Can't wait for Gary Oldman to get on board and be hugged to death by Modi.

Our economic situation and airline safety is not that bad that we need Qatar airways to taxi our Prime Minister.
The Sanghis circulated online memes when Imran Khan flew to United Nations on an aircraft of the Saudi Royal family, after initially planning to fly commercial.
In comparison, Maharaja Modi flew on his own Jumbo Jet-747. If I were Pakistani, I wouldn't have liked those jokes for sure. In fact, I didn't like them as Indian either. They were very distasteful, crass and of course, disgusting. Imran Khan only wanted to fly commercial to save taxpayer money. That thing was totally lost on Indian trolls. It really makes me feel sad when these nincompoop Indian trolls make fun of Pakistanis for their economy emerging from corruption crisis. They can be very vengeful and mean-spirited.
British PM Boris Johnson rides a bicycle to work. In fact, it's very common in all European countries for their big leaders to use bicycles or public transport.
Now he even got Air Force One. Modi sure has a pimpin' style, and a taste for bling. @DalalErMaNodi
Modi is so so but not that bad, but this is what I call flashy bling :
You be the judge....
No one can match himYou're definitely awesome but our chai-wallah is ahead of you. Can you top these pictures?
Conan the Barbarian + Thor + Luke Skywalker rolled into one
The King of Tibet
Is that a laser pointing device on his head? Don't know.
An actual mukut....of course, he fancies himself as King.
This one with the peacock feather...he's become a real King,

Wah Modi Jee Wah...
We are all getting jealous here at the persona and the 'dressed to kill' high taste of your prime minister. One need to give it to him on this.
Pakistan PM IK is poor and a pauper and has no dress sense.
Ye hai hamara Prime minister. Kabhi dekha hai aapnay aisa Prime Minister?
