Vistara, the Indian full-service carrier and a joint venture between Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, has expanded its fleet with the delivery of an Airbus A321neo, bearing serial number 11737. The aircraft is powered by LEAP-1A32 engines from CFM International, and is part of the airline’s push to enhance its medium-haul capabilities with premium narrowbody aircraft.
Air India has officially disclosed its latest orders for 100 Airbus aircraft, including 10 A350s and 90 A320 Family jets, further bolstering its fleet expansion plans. The announcement underscores Air India’s strategic focus on modernizing its fleet and scaling its operations to meet growing passenger demand.
Air India Express, a leading low-cost subsidiary of Air India, has unveiled an ambitious plan to add 65 aircraft to its fleet over the next three years. This significant expansion aligns with the airline’s strategic goal to enhance its capacity and footprint in the regional and international aviation markets.
Air India has announced a leadership transition as Klaus Goersch, the airline’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), will step down in January 2025. Klaus will assume the role of Executive Vice President (EVP) and COO at Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (US). His successor will be Basil Kwak, a senior executive from Vistara, marking another significant personnel movement within the Tata Group’s aviation ventures.
