Aircraft deliveries to pick up pace in 2026

INDIAN CARRIERS MAY SEE ARRIVAL OF 140 PLANES
AFTER A YEAR marked by supply-chain disruptions and production constraints at global manufacturers, domestic airlines expect deliveries of aircraft to pick up sharply in 2026. This would add to capacity and make services more reliable.
Around 130-140 aircraft will be added to hangars locally in 2026, including 10-15 wide-body planes, as per industry estimates. The rebound follows a softer delivery pipeline in 2025, when manufacturers, particularly Boeing, struggled to clear the backlog amid regulatory scrutiny and labour disruptions.
