China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited announced the third delivery of a new A320 aircraft to Air India Ltd. The aircraft was delivered at the facilities of Airbus in Hamburg, Germany, on August 3, 2015.

The newly delivered A320 aircraft, configured with maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 77 tons and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Authorization Required (AR), is equipped with Sharklets, 2.4-meter tall new wingtip devices, which enhance the fuel-efficiency and payload-range performance of the A320-family resulting in up to 4% lower fuel burn over longer sectors.
