Air India to Receive New Aircraft Every Six Days for Next 18 Months

Air India, one of the largest airlines in the country, has ordered 470 aircraft. The number of people traveling by air has increased in the last few years. To meet this demand, airlines are also increasing the number of aircraft in their fleet. Air India is to receive one aircraft every six days for the next 18 months.

Air India’s CEO and MD, Campbell Wilson told the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines assembly held in Singapore, “We have new aircraft. We are adding a lot of aircraft. Along with this, a large number of crew and staff are also being appointed. There is a lot of work to be done and we are making good progress.” He said that Air India passengers want reliability and on-time flights and the challenge is to meet these needs. Wilson informed that new aircraft are being deployed on international flights. Apart from this, most of the grounded aircraft have been restored. Wilson also expressed confidence in competing with other airlines and increasing travel for Air India.

Tata Group Air India, owned by the US, has ordered 470 planes and will receive a new plane every six days over the next 18 months. Subash Menon, director general of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines, said the current air travel situation in the country is “unlikely”. Demand This is about 20 percent more than 2019 levels. Asia Pacific borders opened later than other countries and due to this the recovery of air travel in this region was at 69 percent by September. The recovery in air travel in Asia was delayed compared to other regions.

Due to this, many Asian airlines were not able to use the slots to resume services as per European Union (EU) rules. The loss of these slots has affected connectivity between the two regions. International air travel is governed by the rules and regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Violation of these rules and regulations affects security and mobility between different regions.
