NEW DELHI: Private airline Air India on Monday said it has placed an order to purchase 100 more Airbus aircraft, comprising 10 wide-body A350 and 90 narrow-body A320 family aircraft including the A321neo.
These 100 new aircraft are in addition to the orders of 470 aircraft that Air India placed with Airbus and Boeing last year, the Tata Group-owned airline said in a statement.
The airline also announced it has tied up with Airbus for component and maintenance support for its A350 fleet.
"With India's passenger growth outpacing the rest of the world, its significantly improving infrastructure and an aspirational young population increasingly going global, we see a clear case for Air India to expand its future fleet beyond the firm orders of the 470 aircraft placed last year," Tata Sons and Air India chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said in a statement.
