At times we may forget where we place / keep our phone, keys or important document, but I believe all those car owners here would not have forgotten where you leave your car at (at most is forgetting which level or lot they parked their car at in those huge multistorey or basement carpark).

But the subject in this article is a plane, a multi-millions $$$ plane, how can it be? That's why champion lor, and the also the 6 digits sum for the parking fees. Hahahaha

 

Air India reportedly hit with S$144,000 parking fee for airplane it forgot for 13 years

Source: https://mothership.sg/2025/12/air-india-forgotten-plane/

An Air India Boeing 737-200 was removed from Kolkata Airport on Nov. 14, 2025.

It had been parked there since 2012, since it was decommissioned.

According to Indian media reports , the Air India CEO told employees in an internal note that the plane had "effectively disappeared" from their "formal awareness".

"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!"

This was reportedly due to it slipping out of the ledgers during Air India's privatisation three years ago.

According to The Economic Times, the parking fee for the 13 years it was parked in the airport amounted to 10 million Indian Rupees (S$144,131.70).

The aircraft was delivered to Air India in September 1982.

Air India, SQ's investment!

Will selling this POS help SQ recoup some of its investment?

According to Indian media reports , the Air India CEO told employees in an internal note that the plane had "effectively disappeared" from their "formal awareness".

They use awareness and not fixed asset accounting?

Incredible India.

Used cars are not even as big as aeroplanes. 

But I have never lost one yet.

The staff that lost the plane have to pay back from his salary or not?

Instead of buying the airlines maybe we should have bought the airport.

10 million Indian rupees extra profit!

@ER-3682 tata owns nearly 75%, SIa owns less than 25%, can only help to fund their black hole, no say at all, worse than back bencher. 

Until now, we have not heard about how they will recuce their loss or improve profitability, i am keeping SIA sahees at an arm length until better visibility, meantime, there are many other better counters to park our money with.
