What fantastic news to wake up to. Despite the various doom and gloom scenarios, humanity and #aviation have won !

‘s rescue aircraft VT-ALF has departed from Magadan in rural #Russia with all passengers and is now enroute #SanFrancisco. This #B777-200LR flight is historic in more ways than one. It is the first non-stop commercial passenger flight from #Russia to the #USA in recent times (given the sanctions and the #RussiaUkraineWar) and a first for #AirIndia. Many congratulations to the Team at #AirIndia for pulling this off and a big thank you to the authorities from #Russia and India for making this happen. #AvGeek
