Decade-Old Jet Rediscovered At Kolkata Airport With Surprise Parking Bill
Air India has rediscovered a long-lost Boeing 737-200 that had been sitting at Kolkata Airport for over a decade, incurring a surprise parking bill of nearly $120,000. The aircraft, registered VT-EHH, was taken out of service in 2012 and had slipped out of the airline’s records due to staff turnover and administrative lapses. After confirming ownership, Air India arranged for the jet’s removal and paid the parking fee. The 43-year-old aircraft will now serve as a non-flying training platform for aviation maintenance technicians at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, India.
