The first of the two VVIP aircraft ‘Air India One’ for President, Vice President, and Prime Minister will arrive at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport in India on Thursday. Contingents of senior officials of Air India, security officers, and senior government officials had left for the United States earlier in August to accept the delivery of the SESF or VVIP aircraft ‘Air India One’.
“The Special Extra Section Flight (SESF) aircraft for country’s VVIP is arriving today at Delhi’s International Airport,” sources in the government told ANI.
“A joint team of senior officers from National Carrier Air India, VVIP security personnel and senior government officials are on the way to the US to accept the delivery of the VVIP’s flight Air India One,” top government sources had then told ANI.
“The VVIP aircraft is equipped with an advanced and secured communication system that allows the use of audio and video communication functions in mid-air without any worries of being hacked or being taped,” sources familiar with the details told ANI.
The VVIP aircraft ‘B-777’ is a replacement of the wide-body aircraft Boeing B-747 jumbo aircraft whose call sign is Air India One. The interior design of the aircraft is very attractive, which was recently modified by Boeing, apart from other customisations. “The aircraft has a big suit/cabin for the VVIP, a mini medical centre has also been set up in the aircraft. It also has a standard space for the press. The rear seats are of the Economy class category while the rest of the seats are Business class. B777 aircraft can fly over 17 hours continuously,” the sources informed.
