Well said Geebz...This is the list of aircraft in Air India's fleet at the moment ( this includes Indian Airlines )
1) B 747 - 400
2) B 747 - 300 ( About to be phased out )
3) B 777 ( 200 & 300 )
4) B 787 ( on order )
5) A 310
6) A 320 ( Both IAE and CFM engines )
7) A 330
8) B 737 - 200
9) ATR 42
10) CRJ 700
* They also have a B 767 on wet lease
As you can see the fleet is pretty diverse.Since India is a rich country and they have a lot of surplus cash ( from the tax payer ) to spend , the rumour of AI buying the A 380 is pretty accurate as their objective is to buy to maintain the most diverse airline fleet in the world.And the f...heads in the Indian media have convinced the Indian public into thinking that maintaining a diverse fleet is one of the greatest achievements AI has ever made.So as they say...the show will go on at Air India...
