Life is a lot like a helicopter. I have no clue how to operate it.

Absolutely incredible! A complete shutdown of our hub and global operations for 6 hours, yet within just 18 hours, we restored our entire global network. This is what sets us apart. This is why we’re the best airline in the world. @qatarairways https://t.co/5pZwSpr7Tn

Ever heard of the remote Cocos (Keeling) Islands? The first time I did was when I was operating a long-haul flight to Australia. While it may seem like another dot on the map, this island which is an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean is in fact, an en-route emergency

Spotted the National Geographic private jet parked next to us at Kathmandu Airport. Part of their ‘Around the World in 24 Days’ tour. Each ticket costs $108,000. Quite the bucket list trip! Details: The journey begins in Washington, D.C., and includes the following

@RajivSi53259510 could you measure the sound levels of the B737NG & MAX and post it here. Very curious 🙏 The app I used is called Decibel X.

How loud is the cockpit in cruise? I measured the ambient noise levels from my last 3 flights: B777 : 73 dB (like a vacuum cleaner) B787-9 : 69.8 dB (like a busy restaurant) B787-8 : 66.5 dB (can actually hear your thoughts!) Yet another reason why the 787-8 is @Boeing’s best

Made it to 19,341 feet (5895 mts) without our wings. Each of us has flown over Mt. Kilimanjaro but making it to the summit on foot was something else. Here's to the most physically excruciating, mentally challenging and altogether rewarding experience of our lives.

Island-hopping around the stunning Azores archipelago with @_azoresairlines. Remarkably, every island, no matter how remote, has an airport. Incidentally, the Terceira Island airport (LPLA) is an alternate (a diversion airport for emergency landings) for transatlantic flights.

In 2012, my flight to Goa on a B737 hit a flock of pigeons before landing. Despite engine and w/s damage, we landed safely but lost steering, blocking the runway for over an hour. Bird detection radars could prevent this, yet they're rarely installed. https://t.co/ww01SKerM5

As a coffee enthusiast, after sampling brews from around the world, I’m very impressed with India’s @BlueTokaiCoffee specialty coffee. Their quality and flavour profile is comparable with some of the best from Brazil & South America.

AvGeek Give Away! Over the last several years, my family and I have collected several airline amenity bags (mostly @emirates). Given the sheer amount that has been collected over the years, we would like to put them to some good use. I will be giving these first class bags (they

Unexpected #Doha

Ever heard about an Indian Navy Sailor who stole an Indian Navy Hawker Sea Hawk to satisfy his urge of flying after he failed to join the Indian Air Force? Leading Aircraft Ordnance Mechanic Ajit Singh Gill had a long urge to fly fighter planes and his ambition to be seated into
