Air India takes delivery of its maiden A321neo

28.03.2023

Air India took delivery of its first A321-200NX on March 25, 2023.

VT-RTD (msn 11183) was ferried directly from Hamburg Finkenwerder to Delhi International, but has yet to be inducted into service by the airline. It is the first of at least eight of the type secured from lessors, the ch-aviation fleets advanced module shows. Air India has recently committed to adding seventy A321-200NX as a part of its blockbuster order for 470 aircraft.

Air India's current narrowbody fleet entails twenty A319-100s, nine A320-200s, twenty-seven A320-200Ns, and fourteen A321-200s.

The merger between AI Express and Air Asia India is going to take another year. Tata is really taking this slow.

Also there is no coordination between Vistara and AI on domestic flights, Vistara and AI flights often leave at the same time.

Air India mulls inducting freighters to scale up its cargo business

April 16, 2023

Air India is looking to scale up its cargo business, and is exploring the possibility of inducting freighters, in a bid to gain market share. The Tata Sons-owned airline, which boasts a 118-plane strong fleet, recently ordered 470 aircraft. Unlike IndiGo and SpiceJet, it doesn't possess any freighters — planes that purely fly cargo. It transports freight in the belly space of its Boeing and Airbus passenger aircraft.

“We are exploring the possibility of inducting freighter capacity into the network, both directly and in collaboration with partners,” Air India said in an emailed response, adding that cargo revenue is “expected to be a significant part of the revenue mix” of the airline.

Air India is set to unveil a new color scheme, insignia, cabin interiors, and crew uniforms as part of a rebranding effort, according to an internal communication from CEO Campbell Wilson. The CEO stated that the designs are “progressing well," and the plans for their “reveals" are being finalized. Although the airline’s mascot, the iconic Maharajah, will remain a part of it, there’s a possibility of adding a female counterpart.
