Air India <\/strong>said on Monday that it will lease 30 Boeing and Airbus aircraft, expanding its fleet by more than 25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air India’s new owner, the autos-to-steel conglomerate Tata Group, faces an uphill task to upgrade the carrier’s ageing fleet and turn around its financials and service levels, reported Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 Air Transat will lease four Airbus A321XLR.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“After a long time without significant growth, Air India is delighted to resume expanding its fleet and global footprint,” said Air India Chief Executive Campbell Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These new aircraft, together with existing aircraft being returned to service, address an immediate need for more capacity and connectivity and mark a strong step forward.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest deals comprise the leasing of 21 Airbus A320neos, four Airbus A321neos and five Boeing B777-200LRs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 Emirates invests over $350 million in entertainment system of its A350.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airbus jets will begin joining the fleet in the first quarter of next year and are expected to be deployed on domestic and short-haul international routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The B777-200LRs will join the fleet between December and March, with deployment likely to be on routes from Indian cities to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline currently has 54 narrow-body aircraft and 33 wide-body aircraft operational, it said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
