Sikkim Takes Flight: A Big Moment for the State!
Imagine a giant airplane, an Air India Boeing 777. Now, picture that plane with the name ‘Sikkim’ painted right on its side! This is actually happening, and it’s a really special moment.
This big plane, named ‘Sikkim’, is getting ready to fly all the way from New Delhi to Vienna (that’s a city in a country called Austria).
Why is this so special? Because the state of Sikkim is currently celebrating its 50th birthday as a state in India! So, having an airplane named after it is like a huge birthday gift and a way to show off Sikkim to the world. It makes everyone from Sikkim feel incredibly proud.
It’s also interesting to know that this kind of thing has happened before. For many years, a plane from a Dutch airline (from the Netherlands) has been named ‘Darjeeling’. Darjeeling is another famous place in India, known for its tea.
So, when these big planes carry the names of places like Sikkim or Darjeeling, it’s a fantastic way to celebrate these beautiful parts of India and share their names with people all over the globe. It’s a truly proud moment for Sikkim as it marks half a century of being a state!
