Air India Eyes Tata’s Airbus C295 to Revolutionize Regional Air Travel

Air India is exploring the possibility of operating the Tata-made Airbus C295 civilian aircraft, a move that could significantly enhance regional connectivity in India. This medium tactical transport aircraft, produced since 1997, has primarily been used by military forces across 35 countries. If adopted, Air India could become the first airline to use it for civilian transport.

With the Indian turboprop market currently dominated by ATR and Bombardier, Air India aims to improve regional connectivity by either acquiring new aircraft or utilizing the C295, known for its fuel efficiency and multi-role capabilities. The C295 would support Air India's goal of strengthening regional air links and align with India's 'Make in India' initiative, with over 85% of the components for the 40 aircraft to be manufactured domestically.

This development not only bolsters Air India’s operational capacity but also marks a pivotal moment for India's aerospace industry, promoting self-reliance and boosting local manufacturing.
