Air India to lease nine jet

New Delhi: In a bid to meet its immediate fleet requirements and replace older planes, Air India is now planning to wet-lease nine wide-bodied jets.
These planes, sources said, would replace jets that were earlier taken on dry lease and their lease period are nearing an end. These aircraft will be used to operate on most of its existing routes, including to US, UK, Canada, Middle East, Japan and South Korea.
"Instead of taking planes on dry lease for three or more years, we decided to wet lease aircraft to meet our requirements," a source added.
