 "Air India to buy 250 aircraft, including 40 wide-body planes from Airbus")
Air India will acquire 250 aircraft, including 40 wide-body planes, from Airbus, Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said on Tuesday.
The Tata Group-owned airline will buy 40 wide-body A350 planes and 210 narrow-body aircraft.
During a virtual event being attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron, among others, Chandrasekaran said a letter of intent has been signed with Airbus for the acquisition of the aircraft.
The wide-body aircraft will be used for ultra-long flights.
Tata Group acquired Air India in January last year.
