Air India plans to reinstate 100% of its ‘long-grounded’ fleet since the takeover by the Tata Group around two years ago, sources told FE.
According to sources, over 95% of the ‘long grounded’ fleet, which included Boeing 787s, 777s, and some narrowbody Airbus A320 type aircraft, has already been made airworthy.
“Out of all the ‘long-grounded’ aircraft, only two are left to be reinstated into the fleet.”
“Many of these aircraft were grounded due to a lack of components and engine shortages. Now that we are witnessing an improvement in the supply chain, the remaining two will also be made airworthy soon.”
