Air India is leasing six Boeing 777s for North American operations.

Six Boeing 777 aircraft will be leased by Air India. This is because several of the current Air India B777 airplanes are currently experiencing delays in North America as a result of their interior conditions.

An insider claimed that recently, malfunctioning seats have caused delays on flights to the US and Canada, notably to Vancouver. An airline official who asked to remain anonymous said, “Taking into account the impact on the airline operations, it has been determined that the company will lease six B777 to conduct its ultra-long-haul flights [lasting over 16 hours)”. “There are no other problems with the [current] aircraft.”

This airplane will be used within three years and is leased for two years. It is anticipated to come in this month’s October.

The additional airline also plans to purchase nearly 50 A350 aircraft from Airbus and 100 A321 neo aircraft over the next years, and they have already requested that pilots receive training for these aircraft. 141 narrow- and wide-body Airbus and Boeing aircraft currently make up Air India’s fleet.
