Nice way to travel, 747-400 all to himself. I never ever ever complain again when our lot use the Learjet again.

Yes, the president of a country that has over a billion people, and is one of the largest manufactures in the world, sure what would we want with them?! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Landing at Joint Base Andrews, they are probably waiting for him to wake up or sober up or something.

Indian PM IS enroute to the US of A while here though he will meet Enda and local Indian community so slightly more than a fuel stop. It is a standard Air India 747 but it gets a VVIP interior fitted before its used by the PM.

Reference the Pope, it's not unusual for state flights to be held while timings on the ground are perfected for their arrival or in some cases it's done deliberately to P off the visitors or done by the visitors to get ready or do it on their timescale, all the fun and games of statesmanship.

It's due into DUB at 1055 local so won't be departing just yet, I imagine.

surprised he actually got out so quick, wasnt expecting movement before 6. must have got some escort through the City in that traffic considering he only finished up his engagements around 4.00.


literally must have been straight out to the airport, onto the plane and off- what a class way to travel!

smurfjed

Maybe he paid for "Fast Track" :)
