Air India has put together a “huge financing deal” related to its new fleet in a remarkably quick time, according to its chief Campbell Wilson.
On February 14, Air India announced a historic order for buying 470 aircraft, including 250 from Airbus and 220 from Boeing. Besides, there is an option to buy another 370 planes from the two plane makers.
