In what would be its first major expansion post the takeover by Tata Group less than eight months ago, Air India on Monday said it will add 30 new aircraft in the coming months which would boost its fleet by more than 25%.
The carrier has signed leases and letters of intent for 25 Airbus narrow-body and five Boeing wide-body aircraft. These will enter service from late 2022. Its current fleet stands at 113 planes, of which 87 or 77% are operational.
