Air India is reportedly considering a new multi-billion dollar order for a significant number of widebody passenger aircraft, with products from both Boeing and Airbus said to be in the running, according to Reuters. The deliberations underway are said to be focused on orders for between 30 and 40 aircraft which would potentially be split between the Airbus A350 and Boeing 777X models. However, one airline source said that any potential order could be for up to 50 aircraft as the airline pushes ahead with its ambitious growth plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings should become clearer closer to the Paris Air Show in June 2025,\u201d an airline source told Reuters while an official Air India spokesperson said the airline does not comment on speculation. Boeing and Airbus also declined to comment on the rumors.<\/p>\n

Any large widebody order would supplement an existing huge order that Air India placed in 2023 for 470 new airframes to expedite growth plans following the airline\u2019s takeover by the privately owned Tata Group. While this order featured models from both the Airbus and Boeing stables, the Indian carrier then went on to order a further 100 Airbus aircraft in December 2024.<\/a><\/p>\n
