End of an era as Air India's 'Queen of the Skies', Boeing 747 bids adieu

When Air India Boeing 747-400 VT-EVA took off from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Monday, it also brought the curtains down to a glorious chapter in Indian aviation history. The aircraft was a part of Air India's fleet for over four decades. Air India had four Boeing 747-400s in its fleet. On Monday, one of them, named Agra, which has been a part of Air India since October 1996, departed from Mumbai for the last time.
