No idea what a "Bourkhan" is, but given the livery, and the fact it's for a private Russian customer, I would consider it a safe bet that this is Roman Abramovitch's new toy to replace his "small" 767.

So perhaps they will try to get rid of the A345s considering that they have only 4 of them.
As for the A346s, I don't see them going because they're the only aircraft along with the B744s to have F class.
As for the A340s being more efficient than the B744s, I would say that the A346s are indeed, considering that they have newer technology, except on the routes where TG needs more capacity.

This is Bourkhan
It's located on the lake Baïkal, on the Olkhon island. As Lake Baïkal is considered as the center of Siberia and this Island the center of the lake we can consider that big rock as being the heart of Siberia. It's also a very important religious point for the people there.

The Boeing 747-8, is very likely the last 4 engine passenger jet that we will see from Boeing, if the project even sees the light of day. The Airbus A380 project was horribly late, although the airliner's reputation has improved a little in the past year.
Hear the weather in New Delhi is scorching hot, how's the weather in Mumbai, Vishal? We had a very pleasant 26 degree Celsius day here in Denver.
Reagards,
