Tata-Owned Indian FSC Air India (AI) Charter Brings Indian Army Personnel Home from US Military Exercise

An Indian Army charter flight operated by Tata-owned Air India has safely landed at Fairbanks, Alaska, USA.

The flight's timeline, tracked by FlightRadar24, shows that Air India flight AI1187 departed from Delhi (DEL) at approximately 3:40 AM UTC. After nearly 13 hours and 45 minutes in the air, the flight safely landed at Fairbanks (FAI) around 5:22 PM UTC. The aircraft operating the flight is a Boeing 777-300ER with registration VT-AER, a 9.9-year-old aircraft previously operated by Etihad Airways.
