Was it Indian Airlines? I thought it was Jet Airways planning to use the A340 for EWR? I don't recall exactly.

Indian Airlines is pretty much a domestic airline, they are planning on getting some A330's, not A340. They just took delivery of three leased A320's and will have few more in the first half of 2006.

They are the only one with double axle main gears, I think 20 of them.
