16 fly-away aircraft are scheduled to land between September 2023 and August 2025 while the first ‘Made in India’ aircraft is expected in September 2026.
The jet flying from Seoul to Cebu tried landing twice in poor weather before it overran the runway. The airline has not had a fatal crash since 1997, based on the Aviation Safety Network.
Once India’s top private airline, Jet Airways is returning to the skies. The company is trying to acquire A320neo jets and A220 planes from Airbus SE, Boeing Co. and Embraer SA.
Under Tata's ownership, the carrier may order Airbus SE’s A320neo family jets or Boeing Co.’s 737 Max models, or a mix of both, said people familiar with the matter.
Air India is polling pilots on whether they want to be trained to fly Airbus SE A350 jets, indicating that it intends to operate the model as it looks to renew its widebody fleet.
Chris Davie, senior vice president in Asia Pacific for Rolls-Royce, said Tata Group-owned Air India is looking for 'big order', which will allow the airline to get international growth.
The aircraft have a 5-10 tonne capacity, are capable of operating from semi-prepared strips and has a rear ramp door for quick reaction and para dropping of troops and cargo.
IAF's refueller fleet currently comprises six Russian IIyushin-78 tankers, first inducted in 2003, which are facing maintenance and serviceability issues.
The Navy has been desperate to replace its Chetak helicopters of 1960s vintage with NUH but the procurement process for 111 such choppers has been stuck.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
