It is actually a pair of specially customized Boeing 777-300ER aircraft operated by the Indian Air Force under the call sign “Air India One.” The President travels under the VIP-1 designation, while the Prime Minister uses VIP-2 or VIP-3 depending on protocol. These aircraft replaced the older Boeing 747 fleet and officially entered service around October 2020. Number 2 — A High-Security Flying Fortress These aircraft are far more than ordinary passenger jets. Much like the aircraft used by the President of the United States, India’s VVIP aircraft are equipped with advanced military-grade defensive systems. They feature: Missile Approach Warning Systems Radar jammers Electronic countermeasures Infrared countermeasure systems Self-protection suites These systems can detect, jam, and deflect incoming missile threats, turning the aircraft into a highly secure flying command platform. Number 3 — Long Range with Mid-Air Refueling Capability Unlike standard commercial Boeing 777 aircraft, Air India One has been modified for aerial refueling. This allows the aircraft to stay airborne for extremely long durations and travel non-stop on intercontinental missions. In many cases, it can fly directly between India and the United States without needing a refueling stop. This capability gives India enormous strategic flexibility during diplomatic and emergency missions. Number 4 — Powered by One of the World’s Most Powerful Jet Engines The aircraft is powered by the massive General Electric GE90-115B engines — among the most powerful jet engines ever built for commercial aviation. These engines generate enormous thrust, allowing the aircraft to cruise at speeds above 900 kilometers per hour and fly at altitudes reaching around 43,000 to 45,000 feet. Number 5 — A Flying Command Center Inside, the aircraft is designed like a mobile headquarters for the nation’s top leadership. The cabin includes: Private VIP suites Office and bedroom facilities Conference and meeting rooms Secure encrypted communication systems Satellite communication links Internet and video connectivity Medical emergency facilities Seating for staff, officials, and media personnel It essentially functions as a flying command center capable of handling critical government operations while airborne. Number 6 — Originally Built for Air India Interestingly, these Boeing 777-300ER aircraft were originally part of Air India’s commercial fleet and were delivered around 2018.
