De-registered by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) last year following its retirement, the aircraft underwent a symbolic transformation as its Air India insignia and titles were removed.
This facilitated a temporary American registration, N940AS, allowing its departure from its former home base.
"Today, one of the former Air India Boeing 747s left Mumbai for the last time. Once registered VT-EVA and named 'Agra,' it was de-registered by the DGCA last year after retirement, and its 'Air India' titles and logos were removed," explained Debasish Chakraverty, an aviation historian.
