In a bid to expand the flying capacity ahead of the holiday season, the Tata Group has decided to induct several planes by 2023 for its two airlines, Air India and Air India Express. The company is planning to get six Boeing 777-2000 aircraft and 25 Airbus A320 Neo aircraft on lease by the first quarter of 2023, Economic Times (ET) reported.
Tata Group is in the final stages of placing an order for 200 narrowbody and widebody jets from Airbus and Boeing. But their delivery might only start by the end of 2024. To meet the short-term demand, the company has decided to take Boeing 7777-2000 and Airbus A320 Neo on lease, the report added.
