According to an Indian Navy spokesperson, “Boeing P-8I aircraft of the Indian Navy commenced operations from INS Hansa in Goa on Tuesday, with two aircraft arriving on December 30, 2021.”

The Navy said the aircraft has been inducted after being fitted with indigenous equipment and flight acceptance tests.

Indian Navy deploys P-8I aircraft: The Indian Navy acquired the first batch of eight P-8I aircraft in 2013. These aircraft have been deployed at INS Rajali, Arakkonam.
