Industrial sources say New Delhi/Paris (Reuters) – India is investigating dozens of billions of dollars for dozens of broad bodies at Boeing and Airbus, industrial sources said that the government’s previous changes under the new Tata group.
These audits include 30 to 40 aircraft divided between Airbus A350 and Boeing 777X, one source indicates that the possibility of possibilities can exceed 50 aircraft. The sources said the details have not been settled.
“Theds must be clearer at the Paris Air Force (in June), one of the sources said and asked not to be named,” one source said.
Air Indian spokesman said the airline would not comment. Boeing and Airbus refused to comment.
The planned expansion in 2023 to 470 aircraft from both suppliers and 100 Airbus aircraft comes above a large contract last year — but mostly for the single Icela aircraft. Body’s latest broad deal can raise the Air Indian modernization plan to re-open the market shares lost by global rivals.
The Airlines has 50 Airbus A350, 10 Boeing 777XS and 20 787 Dreamliners, which is between the two contracts.
The new case demand comes as international traffic of passengers in India has risen to 15-20 percent in the current fiscal year, which ends on March
Airlines are also in a hurry to queue to limit broad body genetics after fleeing narrower necessities of narrow lines in developed airlines, such as India’s largest indica carrying.
Air Indian efforts are being closely monitored by investors, manufacturers and mercenaries after decades of deterioration under state ownership, but are blocked by delays in delivery.
The airline, which was once considered a world-class service, has been a picture of its atmosphere since the mid-2000s due to financial problems, elderly boats and poor services.
Campbell Wilson, CEO of Air India earlier this week, said the lack of global aircraft would last for at least four years because the provision of first-class engines, businesses, and some fossilage elements would remain under pressure.
The delays have forced Airways to continue using older aircraft and extend Tata’s five-year replacement plan for India.
Airlines is not alone in fighting with delivery delays. India’s latest airline Akasa Air is working to reduce anxiety pilots left unemployed due to lack of aircraft.
