Air India’s record deal heralds a new dawn for country’s aviation sector, Scindia says
Tata Group-owned Air India recently placed an order for 470 aircraft from Boeing and Airbus, with an option of ordering 370 more planes, the largest aircraft order by any airline. Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said that this deal heralds a new dawn for India’s civil aviation sector.
In an interaction with ETNow, Scindia said this deal speaks of the potential for growth within civil aviation in India.
The previous biggest order was a 460-plane deal by American Airlines in 2011.
