Air India gears up for its first Airbus A350: Know more about its operations and routes

Air India is preparing to welcome its first Airbus A350 aircraft in December 2023, becoming the first Indian airline to operate this advanced widebody jet. The A350 will allow Air India to compete with the Gulf carriers and offer more non-stop flights to long-haul destinations with its longer range and higher capacity.

The airline has ordered four A350s, which are part of a larger deal of 470 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing, including 70 widebodies. The airline has already received some A320s, A321 NEOs and Boeing 737 MAX8s from the order.
