Air India Poised for Another Game-Changing Order of Airbus A320s and A350s

Air India is making significant strides to reclaim its status among the world’s leading airlines by placing a new order for 85 Airbus jets.

This latest order, which industry sources confirm consists of 75 A320-family aircraft for short- to medium-haul air india flight and 10 long-haul A350 jets, is part of the airline’s ambitious expansion plan.

Key Highlights of the Order:

Total Jets Ordered: 85 Airbus aircraft
- 75 A320-family jets: Tailored for short- to medium-haul routes.
- 10 A350 aircraft: Designed for long-haul operations.
Potential Boeing Order: Air India is also eyeing a top-up order from Boeing, which could further enhance its fleet.

While Airbus has acknowledged an order from an unnamed customer, sources within the industry have identified Air India as the buyer. This marks a substantial step in the airline’s ongoing transformation since its acquisition by the Tata Group, which has committed to substantial investments in upgrading operations and modernizing the fleet.

Industry experts speculate that Air India’s ongoing expansion efforts may soon be complemented by a significant order from Boeing, reinforcing the airline’s position in the competitive aviation market. The news of the Airbus order coincidentally surfaced shortly before Tata Group announced the passing of its former chairman, Ratan Tata, underscoring the deep connection between the airline and the Tata legacy.

As Air India continues to invest in its fleet and enhance its service offerings, the airline’s management has remained tight-lipped regarding specific details of the new deal, reflecting the competitive nature of the industry.
