 MUMBAI, Aug 1 - People of Assam will be a happier lot now on, as the first 
ever Mumbai-Newyork non-stop daily flight introduced by Air India today was 
named after the State of Assam. It was an auspicious occasion not only to the 
Assam team led by Debashish Sarma, the Deputy Resident Commissioner, Assam 
Bhawan, Mumbai who participated in the flag-off ceremony, but to the whole 
populace of the state as the high profile flight, with ultra modern aircraft 
technology and facilities, was flagged off by Union Minister of State for Civil 
Aviation Praful Patel at 12.45 am. (IST) in Mumbai.

The ceremony was preceded by traditional Assamese Bihu dance and Bharat Natyam 
of Andhra Pradesh, the state after which another flight is to be named. Both 
the folk dances were highly appreciated by the elite gathering consisting of 
several members of Parliament, top central and state bureaucrats, other 
government officials, filmstars, businessmen among others.

The Assam team which was led by Sri Sarma also included Himangshu Sekhar Das, 
Commissioner, Tourism Department and Liakat Ali, Deputy Director, Tourism 
Department.

Addressing the gathering prior to the formal flag-off of the flight, Praful 
Patel said that since he sat on the saddle, there have been a sea change in the 
aviation sector. He said that the number of aircraft in India has been 
increased from a meagre 138 in 2004 to 330 in 2007. The present government at 
the Centre has made all out effort to make people in every nook and corner in 
the country feel that they are not secluded anymore. They have been given the 
opportunity to feel that there are places to remind beyond metropolis like 
Mumbai and Delhi. Keeping this aim in view, his department has decided to name 
the first two aircraft of this very important fleet after Andhra Pradesh and 
Assam. He reiterated his commitment to improve the condition of the civil 
aviation sector according to the demand of the present scenario.

Speaking on the occasion, V Tulsidas, chairman-cum-managing director, Air 
India, gave a bird's eye view of the aircraft and narrated the facilities 
designed to fit the level of 'customer's delight'. He also informed that the 
country's two major air carriers merger will materialise within the next few 
weeks and the new name would be 'Air India'. Dr V Trivedi, CMD, Indian 
Airlines, also spoke on the occasion. Dr Trivedi disclosed that 10 to 12 
existing aircraft have been transformed into cargos and more are to be inducted 
soon for this purpose. Both the CMDs proudly announced that after the merger 
'Air India' would be the biggest airline in this region.

I think it is a Assamese national trait to get elated at the slighted hint of a 
good news for the neglected Assamese from the Center.  Assam Tribune (not the 
people of Assam) is so elated that it has not actually read its own news. The 
news is not the 'flight' has been named Assam, (as reported) but two Air India 
planes have been named 'Assam' and 'Andhra Prodesh' as part of (looks like) 
naming all the Air India planes with names of Indian states. That should not be 
news at all and Assamese should not be trying to take false pride and 
staisfaction (like AT) in the event.  In fact Air India wants to name all their 
330 planes they should, let us hope, find good names. If they donot know how to 
name, we may suggest that they may name with the names of Indian rivers and we 
should make sure names like Brahamaputra, Dhonsiri, Dikhow, Dihing, Disang a 
etc are included.

Hi all,

The bangkok-Ghy flight is still operational. I took it 2006 
September. Earlier it was operated by Air India and now it is

Bangkok-Guwahati-Gaya flight.


In 2007 January, I took a Bangkok- Calcutta (Jet Airways), 
Calcutta-Guwahati (Indigo Airlines) flight as the Bangkok-Ghy 
(Indian Airlines) was too expensive at that point of time.


The Bangkok-Ghy flight aims for no publicity and hence nobody even 
in Assam knows if that flight is operational or not. If I am correct 
it runs on wednesdays now a days. If you go to www.asia.com and 
search for it, I am sure you will get more info. Be sure to put a 
wednesday as the journey date.

I was hoping for a non-stop flight.

I guess the Kingfisher flight would work.

Not yet - but I hear that there will be one. In a way, Guwahati is 
pretty well connected to the metropolitan cities. Places like Indore 
(pretty much the size of Guwahati) are not connected to the major

Guwahati- Del,a nd Guwahati-Kolkata are excellent connections, with 
a number of flights a day.

 MUMBAI, Aug 1 - People of Assam will be a happier lot now on, as 
the first ever Mumbai-Newyork non-stop daily flight introduced by 
Air India today was named after the State of Assam. It was an 
auspicious occasion not only to the Assam team led by Debashish 
Sarma, the Deputy Resident Commissioner, Assam Bhawan, Mumbai who 
participated in the flag-off ceremony, but to the whole populace of 
the state as the high profile flight, with ultra modern aircraft 
technology and facilities, was flagged off by Union Minister of 
State for Civil Aviation Praful Patel at 12.45 am. (IST) in Mumbai.


The ceremony was preceded by traditional Assamese Bihu dance and 
Bharat Natyam of Andhra Pradesh, the state after which another 
flight is to be named. Both the folk dances were highly appreciated 
by the elite gathering consisting of several members of Parliament, 
top central and state bureaucrats, other government officials, 
filmstars, businessmen among others.


The Assam team which was led by Sri Sarma also included Himangshu 
Sekhar Das, Commissioner, Tourism Department and Liakat Ali, Deputy 
Director, Tourism Department.


Addressing the gathering prior to the formal flag-off of the flight, 
Praful Patel said that since he sat on the saddle, there have been a 
sea change in the aviation sector. He said that the number of 
aircraft in India has been increased from a meagre 138 in 2004 to 
330 in 2007. The present government at the Centre has made all out 
effort to make people in every nook and corner in the country feel 
that they are not secluded anymore. They have been given the 
opportunity to feel that there are places to remind beyond 
metropolis like Mumbai and Delhi. Keeping this aim in view, his 
department has decided to name the first two aircraft of this very 
important fleet after Andhra Pradesh and Assam. He reiterated his 
commitment to improve the condition of the civil aviation sector 
according to the demand of the present scenario.


Speaking on the occasion, V Tulsidas, chairman-cum-managing 
director, Air India, gave a bird's eye view of the aircraft and 
narrated the facilities designed to fit the level of 'customer's 
delight'. He also informed that the country's two major air carriers 
merger will materialise within the next few weeks and the new name 
would be 'Air India'. Dr V Trivedi, CMD, Indian Airlines, also spoke 
on the occasion. Dr Trivedi disclosed that 10 to 12 existing 
aircraft have been transformed into cargos and more are to be

Air India already has a Brahmaputra (*A310-304: VT-EVI : Brahmaputra)*
For those interested, this link gives the Air India's naming convention + a

From A Correspondent
 MUMBAI, Aug 1 - People of Assam will be a happier lot now on, as 
the first ever Mumbai-Newyork non-stop daily flight introduced by 
Air India today was named after the State of Assam. It was an 
auspicious occasion not only to the Assam team led by Debashish 
Sarma, the Deputy Resident Commissioner, Assam Bhawan, Mumbai who 
participated in the flag-off ceremony, but to the whole populace of 
the state as the high profile flight, with ultra modern aircraft 
technology and facilities, was flagged off by Union Minister of 
State for Civil Aviation Praful Patel at 12.45 am. (IST) in Mumbai.


The ceremony was preceded by traditional Assamese Bihu dance and 
Bharat Natyam of Andhra Pradesh, the state after which another 
flight is to be named. Both the folk dances were highly appreciated 
by the elite gathering consisting of several members of Parliament, 
top central and state bureaucrats, other government officials, 
filmstars, businessmen among others.


The Assam team which was led by Sri Sarma also included Himangshu 
Sekhar Das, Commissioner, Tourism Department and Liakat Ali, Deputy 
Director, Tourism Department.


Addressing the gathering prior to the formal flag-off of the flight, 
Praful Patel said that since he sat on the saddle, there have been a 
sea change in the aviation sector. He said that the number of 
aircraft in India has been increased from a meagre 138 in 2004 to 
330 in 2007. The present government at the Centre has made all out 
effort to make people in every nook and corner in the country feel 
that they are not secluded anymore. They have been given the 
opportunity to feel that there are places to remind beyond 
metropolis like Mumbai and Delhi. Keeping this aim in view, his 
department has decided to name the first two aircraft of this very 
important fleet after Andhra Pradesh and Assam. He reiterated his 
commitment to improve the condition of the civil aviation sector

Speaking on the occasion, V Tulsidas, chairman-cum-managing 
director, Air India, gave a bird's eye view of the aircraft and 
narrated the facilities designed to fit the level of 'customer's 
delight'. He also informed that the country's two major air carriers 
merger will materialise within the next few weeks and the new name 
would be 'Air India'. Dr V Trivedi, CMD, Indian Airlines, also spoke 
on the occasion. Dr Trivedi disclosed that 10 to 12 existing 
aircraft have been transformed into cargos and more are to be 
inducted soon for this purpose. Both the CMDs proudly announced that 
after the merger 'Air India' would be the biggest airline in this 
region.

Re: [Assam] India-New York flight named after Assam -AT

[Priyankoo]

Kingfisher Airlines flies directly between Mumbai and Ghy  leaving Mumbai at 11 
AM

Also, anybody going to Assam from the US, the US-bangkok-Ghy route is worth 
exploring...I have been saving a lot of money and pain on that route...

  Guwahati- Del,a nd Guwahati-Kolkata are excellent connections, with a number

 MUMBAI, Aug 1 - People of Assam will be a happier lot now on, as the first 
ever Mumbai-Newyork non-stop daily flight introduced by Air India today was 
named after the State of Assam. It was an auspicious occasion not only to the 
Assam team led by Debashish Sarma, the Deputy Resident Commissioner, Assam 
Bhawan, Mumbai who participated in the flag-off ceremony, but to the whole 
populace of the state as the high profile flight, with ultra modern aircraft 
technology and facilities, was flagged off by Union Minister of State for Civil 
Aviation Praful Patel at  12.45 am. (IST) in Mumbai.

The ceremony was preceded by traditional Assamese Bihu dance and Bharat Natyam 
of Andhra Pradesh, the state after which another flight is to be named. Both 
the folk dances were highly appreciated by the elite gathering consisting of 
several members of Parliament, top central and state bureaucrats, other 
government officials, filmstars, businessmen among others. 

The Assam team which was led by Sri Sarma also included Himangshu Sekhar Das, 
Commissioner, Tourism Department and Liakat Ali, Deputy Director, Tourism 
Department.

Addressing the gathering prior to the formal flag-off of the flight, Praful 
Patel said that since he sat on the saddle, there have been a sea change in the 
aviation sector. He said that the number of aircraft in India has been 
increased from a meagre 138 in 2004 to 330 in 2007. The present government at 
the Centre has made all out effort to make people in every nook and corner in 
the country feel that they are not secluded anymore. They have been given the 
opportunity to feel that there are places to remind beyond metropolis like 
Mumbai and Delhi. Keeping this aim in view, his department has decided to name 
the first two aircraft of this very important fleet after Andhra Pradesh and 
Assam. He reiterated his commitment to improve the condition of the civil 
aviation sector according to the demand of the present scenario. 

Speaking on the occasion, V Tulsidas, chairman-cum-managing director, Air 
India, gave a bird's eye view of the aircraft and narrated the facilities

I think it is a Assamese national trait to get elated at the 
slighted hint of a good news for the neglected Assamese from the 
Center.  Assam Tribune (not the people of Assam) is so elated that 
it has not actually read its own news. The news is not the 'flight' 
has been named Assam, (as reported) but two Air India planes have 
been named 'Assam' and 'Andhra Prodesh' as part of (looks like) 
naming all the Air India planes with names of Indian states. That 
should not be news at all and Assamese should not be trying to take 
false pride and staisfaction (like AT) in the event.  In fact Air 
India wants to name all their 330 planes they should, let us hope, 
find good names. If they donot know how to name, we may suggest that 
they may name with the names of Indian rivers and we should make 
sure names like Brahamaputra, Dhonsiri, Dikhow, Dihing, Disang a etc 
are included.

Re: [Assam] India-New York flight named after Assam -AT

[Ram Sarangapani]

Not yet - but I hear that there will be one. In a way, Guwahati is pretty
well connected to the metropolitan cities. Places like Indore (pretty much
the size of Guwahati) are not connected to the major cities well.
Guwahati- Del,a nd Guwahati-Kolkata are excellent connections, with a number
of flights a day.
