Air India has placed an order for 100 more aircraft on the back of a record deal for 470 last year.
The deal comprised 10 widebody Airbus A350s and 90 narrowbody A320 family aircraft, including A321neos.
These 100 new aircraft are in addition to firm orders of 470 aircraft that Air India placed with Airbus and Boeing last year.
The carrier now has a total of 344 new aircraft due from Airbus, having received six A350s so far.
It has become the first Indian airline to operate the A350, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines on non-stop routes from Delhi to London and New York.
Air India has 185 out of 220 aircraft on order with Boeing still to be delivered.
Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said: “With India’s passenger growth outpacing the rest of the world, its significantly improving infrastructure and an aspirational young population increasingly going global, we see a clear case for Air India to expand its future fleet beyond the firm orders of the 470 aircraft placed last year.
“These additional 100 Airbus aircraft will help to position Air India on the path to greater growth and contribute to our mission of building Air India into a world-class airline that connects India to every corner of the world.”
Airbus chief executive Guillaume Faury added: “Having personally witnessed the formidable growth of the Indian aviation sector in recent months, I am glad to see Air India renew its trust in Airbus with this additional order for both our A320 Family and A350 aircraft.
“Through this continued partnership, we are committed to supporting the success of Air India’s ‘Vihaan.AI’ transformation plan under Tata’s vision and leadership.”
