Cargo Breaking News
The Tata owned airline, Air India has reportedly decided to procure the wide-bodied Airbus A350 aircraft. The first plane is likely to be delivered by March 2023, as per official reports. This will be Air India’s first wide-bodied plane from Airbus as the company only has Boeing wide body planes in its fleet. “Air India has deployed smaller single aisle Airbus A320 on domestic routes. The Airbus A350 has a bigger fuel tank that allows it to travel longer distances such as India-US routes. Also an Airbus is cheaper to own than the counterpart Boeing 777 and 787,” says reports. This will be first plane procurement for Air India since Tata took over the airline.
