Air India Considers More Widebody Orders: 777X vs A350
Air India is considering a multi-billion dollar order for 30 to 50 widebody aircraft, including Airbus A350s and Boeing 777Xs, as it seeks to expand its fleet amid increasing competition. This potential order follows a historic 2023 purchase of 470 new airframes, which included 40 A350s and 210 A320 Family aircraft. The airline faces challenges from rivals like IndiGo, which is also expanding internationally. Air India plans to modernize its existing fleet through a $400 million retrofit program amid ongoing global aircraft shortages. The situation will likely become clearer at the Paris Air Show in June 2025.
