   The Prime Minister is set to fly in his new, specially designed VVIP aircraft from March with the arrival of the entire Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) fleet from the US. Sources confirmed that all three VVIP aircraft have reached the Capital and would be formally inducted in February and would begin operating by March.
   The Indian Air Force’s Communications Squadron, which ferries the President, Prime Minister and top Cabinet ministers, has stepped up the training of its crew to ensure that the jets begin VVIP duties by March.
   According to sources, the Prime Minister’s Office, the SPG and security agencies have already been discussing the subject with Air-India authorities. Quite like the American Air Force One, it is being felt that the Indian Prime Minister’s plane, too, should be fitted with a nuclear command control system. This issue will be discussed by the cabinet committee on security (CCS) soon.

   So far there no special plane which carries the PM and President but The Indian prime minister’s brand new office in the air – akin to the US president’s Air Force One – is all set to be inducted into the Indian Air Force (IAF) later this month, an official said. Three Boeing Business Jets, fitted with the state-of-the-art security gadgets and latest communication systems, will be part of the Communications Squadron of the IAF. President Pratibha Patil, the supreme commander of the armed forces, is likely to formally induct the jets at a ceremony. The Boeing 737s will be christened Rajdoot after one of the three Russian TU 124s that were part of the VVIP squadron in the 1970s.
   “The Communications Squadrons, which ferry the president, the prime minister and top cabinet ministers, will be taking in the new jets,” a senior IAF official, speaking only on condition of anonymity, told IANS.
   The aircraft will enter service nine months behind schedule due to last minute integration problems of the missile defence system and sorting out of end user verification laws with the US. “The three aircraft are being extensively flown across the country and are undergoing complete system checks. One of the aircraft will be dedicated to the president and prime minister and another used to ferry special guests or senior ministers, while one will be on stand-by,” the official added.
   The aircraft’s interiors are being fitted to carry a total of 48 people, including the president or prime minister in a special cabin. The three new aircraft are the latest Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) versions. They will replace the three existing Boeing 737s acquired more than 20 years ago.
   The new BBJs have been configured to the same security specifications for the Indian prime minister as the Boeing 747s being used for the US president. The aircraft are being fitted with sophisticated electronic countermeasures, a protection suite and chaff dispensers to ward off missile threats, a secure satellite and VHF communication suite, and other security gadgets.
   The long range Boeing 737s, fitted with new CFM 56 engines made jointly by the US GE and French Snecma, are designed to function as command posts, in the event of an emergency.
