Air India Places Order For 100 Aircraft

The phenomenal pace of Indian aviation is reflected not only in the growing number of passengers flown, but also by the order book of the three big airlines – IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa Air.

The number of aircraft that are on order to the two largest manufacturers, Boeing and Airbus, is truly staggering with Air India’s latest order of 100 aircraft, all to France’s Airbus.

Air India has placed an order for 570 aircraft since 2023. These include 300 A320neo family aircraft, 50 A350, 190 Boeing 737 MAX, 10 Boeing 777X, and 20 Boeing 787.

Announcing the deal for 100 more aircraft on Monday, the Tata Group-owned Air India said it aimed at bolstering its fleet and winning over fliers. The airline said the deal consisted of 10 widebody A350 and 90 narrowbody A320 family aircraft.
