Air India relaunch plans have both Airbus and Boeing happy.
The carrier is set to order 425 single-aisle jets including 235 Airbus A320neo-family planes as well as 190 Boeing 737 MAX airliners, according to news agency Reuters. Air India is likely to announce the order on Jan. 27, the agency added.
The order is also expected to include up to 70 widebody long-haul aircraft including up to 40 Airbus A350s as well as some 20 Boeing 787s and 10 Boeing 777X, Reuters reported.
The soon-to-be-announced deal is among the biggest by a carrier in terms of the number of aircraft. Over a decade ago, American Airlines had announced a combined order for 460 Airbus and Boeing jets.
The upcoming announcement comes a year after the Tata Group regained control of Air India.
