RE: Indian Aviation Thread: Part 51

hi there,
no idea when the arrival is planned - well, you are at the source there. maybe call the airport / handling agent.
MEL, no idea if this one is pressurized, rather doubt it.

RE: Indian Aviation Thread: Part 51

MEL, you chose a rather old pic - saw it yesterday at Amsterdam and it looks the same since about 1999 (well, about the only one in the DB with old colors..).
good luck
