Air India To Buy 250 Aircraft From Airbus

The Tata group has announced a massive order for 250 aircraft from Airbus. The mega deal was announced in a video conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, French President Emmanuel Macron, and  Ratan Tata. Airbus says A350s fly efficiently on any sector, from short-haul to ultra-long-haul routes up to 17,000 km, carrying 300 to 410 passengers in typical three-class configurations and up to 480 passengers in a single-class layout. The deal with Airbus, expected to be over $100 billion, is part of a huge order by Air India for 470 planes, which is also likely to include an order for 220 planes from Boeing.
