It is a custom to welcome aircraft for the first time with such showers.

Not sure about such a custom "on their way out".

More for acclamatization, you see the plane was manufactured in cooler clime and then lands into Indian heat and dust so it gets a shower to freshen up and cool it down :giggle: :giggle:
