Mumbai: Business magnate Mukesh Ambani's new "flying office"
worth nearly Rs 245 crore quietly arrived at Mumbai Airport
early Friday.

The gleaming white-bodied aircraft with blue stripes, has
been parked in Reliance's private hangar near Kalina, the
southern end of the domestic airport.

The Airbus A-319 aircraft, described as a "flying palace" by
airport officials in the know, has been given the
registration number VT-IAH.

Kept under tight security, it is off bounds for all, except
the concerned airport, security and Reliance personnel, the
officials told IANS.

In a special gesture to Mukesh, who stands now 14 on the
Forbes list of the world's billionaires, a top Airbus
Industrie official personally flew down in the aircraft to
"hand" it over to the Reliance big boss, aviation sources said.
