AI sees growth from domestic, short international flights in 2025: CEO Campbell Wilson

The Hindu  

Air India will see most of the air traffic growth coming from domestic and short-haul international operations in 2025 as more narrow-body planes are joining the fleet and legacy wide-body aircraft will be going for retrofit next year, the airline's chief Campbell Wilson said on Thursday, November 28, 2024. "Once it starts in 2025, we will be doing 3-4 aircraft every month until the full legacy 40 wide-body aircraft are completed," Mr. Wilson said. Meanwhile, there are issues with Air India's legacy wide-body planes, including complaints about service quality, and operating long haul flights to North America. The retrofit of Air India's legacy wide-body planes — Boeing 787 and 777s — will start early next year and is expected to be complete by mid-2027.
