Dive into Air India’s fleet expansion programme as it moves forward in its journey of becoming a world-class global airline
In June 2023, Air India had placed landmark orders to purchase 470 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing as part of its ongoing Vihaan.AI transformation programme that prioritises modernising its fleet among other monumental changes. Reaffirming its commitment to building a modern airline that India can be proud of, it has placed an additional order to purchase 100 more Airbus aircraft, taking the total number of aircraft ordered to 570.
With India poised to become the world’s third-largest aviation market, Air India’s aircraft orders will fuel the country’s domestic and international aviation growth and contribute to India’s journey of claiming its rightful place on the world aviation stage.
Split between two major aircraft manufacturers, Air India’s orders comprise aircraft of multiple types and variants, each intended to serve a distinct mission for the airline’s global expansion. We decode the aircraft orders placed thus far and the deliveries to give you a comprehensive overview.
