Air India will upgrade 13 older Airbus A321ceo jets instead of retiring them, adapting to global supply chain disruptions. The airline’s wide-body fleet is also being modernized, with retrofitting of Boeing 787-8s starting July 2024 and 777 upgrades to finish by year-end. Around 65–68% of narrow-body jets are already refreshed. CEO Campbell Wilson reaffirmed Air India’s commitment to fleet renewal despite prolonged global delays.
