According to knowledgeable officials, Air India has been given approval by DGCA to add two A350 planes to its fleet, specifically the A350-900 and A350-1000 models. These aircraft will use Rolls Royce engines. An airline official mentioned that they plan to bring in these two large planes sometime this year. By the end of March next year, Air India expects to have a total of six A350 planes, the official added.
Currently, Air India, which was taken over by the Tata Group from the government in January last year, has a fleet of 126 planes. This includes 52 wide body boeing 787 and 777 aircraft.
