Singapore Airlines has just revealed the new cabin of their new flagship regional product, the Boeing 787-10, the first of which was delivered to them earlier this week by Boeing. The new product features some stunning colours and a fully flat bed! Have a look!
The first Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner has just been delivered to Launch Operator Singapore Airlines, who will be flying these planes with a new Business class cabin product into Singapore later this week and put it on service to Osaka and Perth shortly!

Here are the 8 aviation and travel related Predictions 2018 from our side. If these work out, life will be better for all of us! What are your predictions for the year ahead?
Lufthansa will be launching a new Business Class product when they launch their new Boeing 777X services. And it is nothing less than impressive! 1-1-1 seats, wireless charging, very long seats are some of the highlights of the new Lufthansa Business Class.
Jet Airways will start inducting new narrowbody planes into their fleet as of June 2018. This should indicate a new phase in the airline’s domestic operations in the coming years, given they have an opportunity to do something new with the Boeing 737 Max.
Jet Airways is on track to receive their order of 75 737-8 Max aeroplanes next month. Now, they are planning to buy another 75-100 narrow-body planes, and expect to place an order by this year. Hopefully, that means a better passenger experience for us all.
I sometimes wonder if I have seen enough of life, or do I need to see some of this stuff I keep hearing about. What I heard about today was totally bizarre and unimaginable. At the Surat Airport (STV), in India, there was a stray buffalo, which hopped on to the runway in the dark, right when a Spicejet flight was on its take off roll, on its way to Delhi. This incident happened last evening at about 7:30 pm. The plane, a Boeing 737, has had some gruesome damage, however all the passengers on the plane were fine. Not surprisingly, Spicejet decided to discontinue their flight operations from Surat after this incident. Here are some pictures, courtesy the Twitter…
Oh boy. I hate going quiet on the blog but sometimes life takes you places where you take a plane and go, and there is just so much going on that your laptop is perpetually starving for battery and hence the posting has to wait. So, the past few weeks, while I’ve been trying to post, I’ve been over to Europe, the USA, and then after a quick trip to Kolkata, I found myself again on the road for two weeks in a row… which was essentially supposed to be one trip to start with. I was over to the Netherlands for a week, and while I was supposed to do some more meetings in other parts of Europe while…
Back in February 2012, I had written a post about the plans Air India had to launch their Boeing 787 flights to go over to Australia, in a triangular flight to Sydney and Melbourne. The timing aspect did not quite work out in the manner they thought they’d like to launch, and late 2012 has now become August 2013, however, they are good to go, and launch a daily flight as of end-August 2013 between these cities. They are going back to Australia after 16 years, and I hope they get enough traffic to justify this decision. As per AirlineRoutes.net, the flight is going to go 4 times a week in terms of Delhi-Sydney-Melbourne direction, and 3 times a week…
Air India has followed the rest of the pack into grounding its 787 fleet of 6 planes as of 17 January, following the FAA advisory issued in the USA. The Indian regulator DGCA followed into the steps of the FAA, and directed Air India to ground all the 6 planes, till Boeing could prove sufficiently to the FAA that the planes are safe. The Boeing 787 serves largely domestic routes at this moment, and 3 international services to Dubai, Paris CDG and Frankfurt from Delhi. The DGCA has formed a committee to look into the safety and engineering aspect of the 787 as well. Air India’s 787 had a technical snag on the inaugural flight as well, and reportedly had…
