Bangalore residents were puzzled after an Air India one B777 VVIP circling at a low altitude

In Bengaluru’s Koramangala neighborhood, residents have been experiencing persistent disturbance from a jet flying overhead for the past two days.

Many individuals in the community have noted a Boeing aircraft making repeated passes over the HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) Airport, causing concern and speculation. The specific aircraft identified is a Boeing 777-337 (ER) with registration number K7067, known for its role in transporting VVIPs such as the president, vice president, and prime minister.

Flight tracking data from platforms like Flightradar24 confirmed its departure from Delhi and subsequent circling of the HAL airport six times before returning to Bengaluru.

Residents have expressed frustration and annoyance at the continuous noise generated by the low-flying aircraft, particularly those in the Indiranagar and Koramangala areas. Some have shared sightings of the aircraft approaching ground level before ascending again without making contact.

Mohan Krishnan, a former scientist at the National Informatics Centre, suggested that the aircraft’s activities could be related to maintenance checks or pilot training, especially considering the implementation of the model code of conduct due to the Lok Sabha elections.

Despite ongoing concerns raised by residents and observations of the aircraft over the past weeks, officials have yet to provide any formal statements regarding the nature or purpose of the low-level flights over Bengaluru.
