According to Reuters reports, Air India may make a significant order for new jets worth approximately $50 billion at the Farnborough airshow in the United Kingdom. Following the acquisition of Air India by Indian commercial ground, TATA is rapidly expanding its operations.
According to some sources, Tata is looking for new fleets to replace its existing fleets on both short and long routes. The Airbus A350 was tested for suitability for Indian-based operations in March of this year in India.
Last month, the TATA group interacted with Airbus and Boeing, displaying the latest products and benefits. Both aircraft manufacturers are making a “last push,” with the order expected to include up to 70 wide-body jets, including Airbus A350s and Boeing 787s and 777s, as well as up to 300 compact bodies.
As of now, neither Pane Maker nor Air India has acknowledged anything regarding the orders.
According to Reuters, representatives from Airbus and Boeing visited India last week in search of a combined order for 200-300 narrow-body and 30-70 wide-body jets, but expectations for an order at Farnborough were dampened.
The transaction is valued at around $50 billion at list pricing, but closer to $20-25 billion after substantial industry discounts.
