Delhi 14th February 2016

Hi

I had to do a trip out to India for work flying to Pune via Delhi. This gave me almost 5 hours at Delhi to make a dent in the domestic fleets. I flew from Heathrow on VT-ANP which was an uneventful flight (always a good thing!). We landed on runway 28 which is near the terminal used by the low cost airlines and goes past the biz apron - you also have distant views of the military ramp. Unfortunately all of this went begging! After arrival in the International Terminal it took me about an hour to get through immigration, customs and get through to Terminal 3 - the domestic terminal for the main airlines. Once there I located myself between gates 34 and 36 which is at the end of the pier used by Air India. From here you can see everything landing and taking off on runway 29 plus you can see departures from 28 although you do not get any warning so you have to concentrate otherwise you will miss some as they disappear in to the permanent haze/smog. You cannot read these off so you will need to rely on FR24 or Planefinder which both have good coverage. One problem I did encounter was the lack of any wifi that I could connect to - luckily for me my work phone had a good data coverage so it got plenty of use (I hope my boss doesn't look too closely at the bill!).
Below is everything that I logged - I did not bother with noting down the Air India B787's (of which there were plenty) or B777's (of which there was just one!). I also saw, but did not log, a single Jet Airways B777.

Hi

On Friday evening (19th) I made the return trip from Pune via Delhi. Pune is a small airport on the site of a military base. Apart from those noted below I also saw but could not identify a number of military including two of their operational HS.748's.

I noted the following while waiting for my flight:-

VT-APJ Airbus A320 216 4346 AirAsia India
VT-BAJ Bombardier Global 5000 9149 Bajaj Auto Ltd
VT-IDE Airbus A320 232 5375 IndiGo Airlines
VT-IFK Airbus A320 232SL 5476 IndiGo Airlines
VT-IGW Airbus A320 232 4506 IndiGo Airlines
VT-JFD Boeing 737 NG 8AL/W 39051 Jet Airways
VT-JFW Boeing 737 NG 85R/W 42799 Jet Airways
VT-PPJ Airbus A321 211 3573 Air India
VT-SPK Boeing 737 NG 8GJ/W 34898 SpiceJet
VT-SZB Boeing 737 NG 8GJ/W 39427 SpiceJet
VT-TTC Airbus A320 232SL 6278 Vistara
VT-UDR Hawker 900XP HA-0187 Venkateshwara Hatcheries
VT-WAL Airbus A320 214 3915 Go Air

A two hour flight on A321 VT-PPJ got me in to Delhi at about 9.30pm - after moving from the Domestic part of Terminal 3 to the International part it was pitch black. I walked the length of the terminal to note what was on the gates. I then settled down by Gate 21 where my flight was leaving from (at 3am) and noted a few of the international flights taxying in and out. Unless you like spotting strobe lights there was not much else to see!

9M-MTD Airbus A330 323E 1234 Malaysia Airlines
9M-XXW Airbus A330 343E 1596 AirAsia X
B-5291 Boeing 737 NG 71B/W 38962 China Southern Airlines
B-LAN Airbus A330 343E 1285 Cathay Pacific Airways
F-GZNQ Boeing 777 328ER 40064 Air France
HS-TKC Boeing 777 3D7 29211 Thai Airways International
JA621A Boeing 767 381ER/W 40566 All Nippon Airways
VT-JRT Airbus A320 216 3448 AirAsia India

Cheers
