Boeing 737, missing aircraft found in India after 13 years

A Boeing 737 believed to be missing has turned up in the most unremarkable of places.

Air India admitted to finding an aircraft that disappeared from its online records in the airport parking bay at Kolkata Airport, 13 years after it was decommissioned.

According to The Independent, Air India was disputing the fines it was receiving because it did not have a record of the



plane.

Only when Kolkata airport issued a formal request for the aircraft to be removed was it discovered that the plane was on site.

Air India CEO Campbell Wilson issued a statement following the news.

“Though disposal of an old aircraft is not unusual, this one is, for it’s an aircraft that we didn’t even know we owned until recently!” Wilson said.
