Air India bid adieu to its last remaining Boeing 747 on Monday

marking the end of an era for the iconic jumbo jet.

The aircraft, once registered as VT-EVA and christened "Agra,"

departed from Mumbai's airport for the final time after it was sold to a foreign company.

De-registered by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) last year following its retirement

the aircraft underwent a symbolic transformation as its Air India insignia and titles were removed

making way for a temporary American registration, N940AS

enabling its departure from its former home base.
