Air India Billed $120,000 After Rediscovering Lost Boeing 737

Air India recently discovered a Boeing 737-200 that had been sitting forgotten at Kolkata Airport for over 13 years, resulting in a surprise parking bill exceeding $120,000. The aircraft, registered VT-EHH, disappeared from the airline’s records due to administrative lapses following corporate mergers and staff turnover. After confirming ownership, Air India paid the accumulated fees and relocated the 43-year-old jet to Bengaluru, where it will serve as a maintenance training platform. The incident highlights record-keeping challenges in aviation operations.
