> Air India has always had a YOLO attitude to air traffic control.
What do you mean by this? Do you have some examples in mind. Also, the airline is a different entity now from a few years back.

I am sure they would have but this might have been a concession few governments might have secured to keep flights economically viable.

We just flew from Bombay to Delhi at a 30-degree angle. [1] https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2323889-air-india-flight-121 https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2323889-air-india-flight-121

I didn't realise Avatar was commercially operational already. Someone should update the Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_(spacecraft) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_(spacecraft) Air India has plenty of real issues worth criticising. There's no need to make up plainly nonsensical stuff.
