Tata group will buy 250 aircraft from France’s Airbus<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

The Tata group will buy 250 aircraft from Airbus in the world’s largest aviation deal in history. The deal includes 40 A350 wide-body long-range aircraft and 210 narrow-body ones, believed to be variants of the A320neo family of jetliners for Air India, owned by the Tata group.<\/p>\n

“It is a historic moment for Airbus to help script Air India’s revival,” Airbus chief executive Guillaume Faury said in a video conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ratan Tata, French President Emmanuel Macron and other leaders.<\/p>\n

The deal with Airbus, expected to be over $100 billion,\u00a0is part of a huge order<\/a> by Air India for 470 planes, which is also likely to include an order for 220 planes from Boeing.<\/p>\n

“This contract is a milestone in the friendly relations between India and France,” said Mr Macron at the conference, where Union Ministers Piyush Goyal and Jyotiraditya Scindia and Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran also participated.<\/p>\n

PM Modi said India will become the third-largest player in the aviation sector. “India will need 2,500 aircraft in the next 15 years,” he added.<\/p>\n

The A350 family has two versions – the A350-900, and the longer fuselage A350-1000.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Airbus’ narrow-body aircraft include the A320 and A220 family of planes. Many airlines in India already fly the A320 family.<\/p>\n

Air India is also likely to revamp its livery. Last month, it committed $400 million to refurbish the interiors of its entire wide-body fleet. Air India said these will incorporate the “latest generation seats and best-in-class inflight entertainment systems.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
