Air India talks to Boeing, Airbus; eyes Airbus A380
State-owned airline Air India has begun talks with Boeing and Airbus to buy new planes. The airline is taking a keen interest in the Airbus A380 superjumbo, sources said on Friday 21 September. Earlier in July, Air India had said it plans to buy about 60 new passenger jetliners over the next few years. It said it would start the selection and purchase process by mid-August. The new merged Air India, which is run by the National Aviation Company of India (NACIL), has a fleet of more than 110 planes with an additional 111 on order.
India's aviation industry is expected to grow by more than 25 per cent annually over the next few years as a rapidly expanding economy boosts incomes, making it an attractive market for local and international carriers.
