Air India One, a highly secured VVIP aircraft modelled on US President's aircraft 'Air Force One', is all set to arrive at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport in a couple of hours. The plane that took off from Texas today comes with an impregnable audio and video communications system that can function mid-air. Air India One will be used to fly the President of India, Vice President and the Prime Minister. Air Force One also boasts of a missile-defence system for emergency.

The Air India Flight AI160/AIC160 is on route to Delhi's IGI Airport. The modified Air India One is a Boeing 777 aircraft, part of Air India's fleet that will be carrying the Prime Minister and other VVIPs. The plane is also equipped with a sophisticated missile defence system and is capable of mid-air refuelling in case of emergencies.
