Maldives welcomes Air India flight with water cannon salute. Watch video
Air India flight, AI-267 was greeted with water cannon salute at Male airport on Monday. The aircraft was welcomed to commemorate 46 years of air service between India and the Maldives.
Air India took to Twitter to share a clip of the water cannon salute. The clip shows water propelling from opposite sites while the aircraft moves in between the water cannon. After landing, AI-267 slowly glides on the runway.
The clip has been viewed more than 2,000 times since being shared one hour ago on Twitter. “Not many airlines operating to the #Maldives currently can claim to have flown then for 46 years. In fact, that may well apply to most of the destinations that #AirIndia currently operates to globally,” wrote a user.
