By MYBRANDBOOK
A modified Boeing 777 aircraft part of the 'Air India One' fleet to be exclusively used by the Prime Minister, President and Vice President landed in Delhi today. Air India One, which is the call sign of the aircraft, landed at the Delhi airport from Texas at around 3 pm today. The B777 planes will have state-of-the-art missile defence systems called Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) and Self-Protection Suites (SPS).
The plane is equipped with a laser-based missile defence system called the Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) and Self-Protection Suites (SPS), which is capable of countering missile threats and configured to provide office space, meeting rooms and advanced communication systems. It can also fly over 17 hours continuously without refuelling.
The two aircraft will be on par with the US President’s Air Force One in terms of security measures. The pair can fly between the US and India in one go without having to stop for refuelling. The two Boeing 777 aircraft will have the Self-Protection Suites (SPS), which is used in the US President’s Air Force One.
During the travel of the VVIPs, the two B777 aircraft will be operated by pilots of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and not of Air India, an official said. Currently, the President, Vice President and Prime Minister, fly on Air India's B747 planes, which have the call sign Air India One.
Air India pilots fly these B747 aircraft for the dignitaries and the Air India Engineering Services Limited (AIESL) maintains them.
