Tata group's Air India plans to expand its fleet in a couple of year's time.Currently, Air India's fleet is a mix of Boeing (777-200LR, 777-300ER and 787-800 Dreamliner) and Airbus (319, 320, 320 Neo and 321) aircraft numbering 113 operating flights.
 

It will be interesting to see how the Tata Group finances the fleet expansion.It is understood that Air India has asked its pilots if they want to get trained in flying A350, which means the airline plans to induct the same in its fleet for long haul flights. Air India officials were not available for comment.


The Tata Group acquired Air India from the Indian government last year. The group already has Vistara and Air Asia under its fold.
