Рет қаралды 72,493

2 ай бұрын

In early March 2023, Air India had 113 airframes. A little over a year later and the carrier is 20% larger with 135 aircraft operating for the Indian flag carrier - at least at the time of making this video. Today, we examine the latest composition of the Air India fleet, changes over the past year, and what the carrier will be looking forward to in the future.

@@user-ow9dg2xj7y In India such airlines aren't called regional airlines, but they are called low cost airlines. Regional Airlines are the ones which have ATRs, Dash 8s and ERJs. IndiGo, SpiceJet can be called low cost as well as regional airline. Some example of regional airlines in India are Star Air, Fly Big, Fly91 etc.

just so you know some of the earliest B787-8 airframes operated by the Indian full service flag carrier are being salvaged for parts in Mumbai, India . . . it's happening right now as we speak . . . furthermore an ex-Air India B747-400 is also being salvaged for essential spare parts . . . although not sure, but i think this B787-8 is the first B787-8 airframe in the world to go into dismantling & salvage . . . but please do correct me if i'm wrong . . . Air India plans to acquire an additional fleet of 26 brand new A350-900 ULR & 34 A350-1000 HGW wide body jet . . . Air India intends to operate new long haul routes . . . for e.g. Delhi (DL) - Sydney (SYD) & Mumbai (BOM) - Sao Paulo (SAO) non-stop . . . or Hyderabad (HYD) - Dublin (DUB) for that matter . . . B777-300 ER & B777-200 LR operated by Air India needs serious overhaul & complete refurbishment of the airframes inside out . . .

This airline started during colonial times and even before many airlines were even thought of however due to years of mismanagement post nationalization ruined the airlines especially during era from 2004 to 2014. It is disheartening to see it's downward trend. Gulf based airlines, Singapore airlines milked us due to years of mismanagement. I sincerely hope that Tata will bring it's lost glory.

Initially Air India ordered 40 a350-1000 and only recently converted 20 of the orders into the smaller a 350-900. Thankfully! Still, I don't think Air India needs that many of the larger A350-1000. I think 15 would be enough, the remaining 5 should instead be converted to a350-900 order, so as to have a total of 25 a350-900

There has not been much improvement in Air India service even after acquisition by Tatas. On a trip from BLR to SFO (Non-stop, direct), the bathrooms were dirty/filthy, food was ok and the service was fair. You cannot have an 18 hour flight where there are no clean bathrooms. Smell from the bathroom, reeked the whole plane, It was stated that Air India was going to compete with middle eastern countries (Emirates, Qatar, etc.). At this rate, Emirates, Qatar air, etc., have nothing to fear.

Unfortunately Air India is facing severe penalties and fines by government bureaucrats whose privileges to free upgrade, contracts have suddenly seen a huge cut by the new Air India Management. My sources tell me that Mr Modi has been made aware of civil aviation ministry officials who still treat Air India as their play field and still make indirect requests for special treatment for themselves and their family members. Recently one DGCA officer got very angry and fined Air India when his family that was traveling to Europe for vacation was not upgraded and was not given access to the Air India lounge.

Air india should order those 370 optional planes as firm orders, with at least 80-100 wide body planes, 470 planes are very less and extremely slow for Indian market, I dia can't be an aviation hub with so less planes, an average airline in USA has 900 planes and in China 700 planes, so 400-500 planes are nothing for sir india😢, they should go for 700-800 at least.❤

Growth needs to be sustainable. Air India can't just grow massive overnight, if they do, then they will fail badly. USA and China would have way more passengers who can pay the air fare. In India, the middle class still can't afford that much, believe it or not the people who can afford air travel are busy paying rents and mortgage on properties that are reaching first world valuations. There's complete disparity between real estate prices and average incomes, along with it, these people also pay 40-50% of their income in taxes (direct and indirect). Leaves very little cash on hand for discretionary spending. Hence the spending power of the consumer also needs to be taken into account before going for investing in expansion. If they grow too big and can't fill in the seats because the consumer can't afford it, then they will run into losses and go bankrupt.
