Could a multi-million dollar asset simply vanish from corporate records for over a decade, only to be found gathering dust in a parking lot? In an astonishing revelation, Air India recently admitted to rediscovering a Boeing 737 that had been “lost” from its online records for a staggering 13 years. This incredible oversight occurred despite the aircraft being parked openly in a remote bay at Kolkata Airport since its decommissioning. The airline only realized the plane was theirs after Kolkata airport issued a formal request for its removal, prompting an investigation into mounting fines for an unrecorded asset. Air India CEO Campbell Wilson expressed disbelief, stating they “didn’t even know we owned” the plane until recently, highlighting a significant lapse in asset management. The aircraft had seemingly slipped from memory, a forgotten relic occupying valuable airport space. This bizarre incident underscores the challenges of large-scale corporate record-keeping, where even massive assets can become administrative ghosts. Ultimately, this long-lost plane has now been officially removed, closing a chapter on one of the most remarkable administrative blunders in aviation history.
