Marked as missing refs since 2008. There is a ref for exactly one of the planes listed. Does anyone have sources, or should these sections be removed? Lumialover (talk) 16:04, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please add Air India A321neo and A350-900 orders RayAdvait (talk) 13:14, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Air India deal with Boeing and Airbus includes 370 options out of which 70 options are for Boeing.^[1] The remaining 300 options must then be Airbus. Does anyone know the composition of these options? Someone added that there are 10 options for A350-1000. Do they have a source for it? Arnav Bhate (talk) 09:24, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please add the fact that the first 6 Airbus A350-900s were initially Aeroflot aircraft and have Aeroflot seating configurations?

Will Air India stick with the Aeroflot interiors or will they order their own interiors for their own ordered aircraft?

Do you have reliable sources for this? - ZLEA _T\^C 15:15, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The planespotters source in the article also states that the six A350s are Aeroflot planes that were not taken up. Another source is this. Arnav Bhate (talk) 06:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We should be moving away from using Planespotters as a source. Per the

WP:OR. - ZLEA _T\^C 14:55, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply

It's well known across the industry too: [1], [2]

Plus, if you compare the seat map of the Air India A350 on their website: [3] and the one at Aeroflot: [4], the number of seats along with the seat configuration is identical.

I understand your concerns, I was only backing up my sources in case you may have felt they were unreliable, however, these facts are NOT

WP:OR as they are backed up by apropriate sources and if you have been following aviation news elsewhere, its very well known across the media that the first 6 frames were initially intended for Aeroflot and now are for Air India. [5], [6]

. Please add this claim!

Noone is disputing the facts. The article can be edited by anyone. You can add the fact too. But include a reliable source. Simpleflying is not considered to be a reliable source. A good source would be the mint article that I linked. Arnav Bhate (talk) 05:24, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ALFC says "Orders are for new aircraft only, other aircraft to be acquired second-hand or leased should be mentioned in the Notes." All leased aircraft are to be in notes. Not just wet-leased aircraft. In fact, wet-leased aircraft are not to be included at all according to "Please do not include wet-leased aircraft." So it is further clear that dry-leased aircraft that are yet to be delivered are to be included in notes and not in orders. Arnav Bhate (talk) 09:31, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply

Fair enough. Just put it in the actual notes column instead of a hidden note on the order number. VenFlyer98 (talk) 06:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is fine with me. Arnav Bhate (talk) 10:05, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sources no longer show that the following airframes 9V-SWD, SWE, and SWF are being ordered for lease by Air India. It is old news from last year that Air India was going to lease them. They used to show up in sources like Planespotters and Airfleets that they were still in order as "VT-"'s but now for some reason they're gone, showing up the latest statuses as their original Singapore Airlines airframes in storage only. If the airline Air India is still considering to lease Singapore's 777-300ER, provide me a reliable source that is UP-TO-DATE showing that the airframes are still on order. NOT A SOURCE FROM 2023! I don't fucking understand why Arnav Bhate keeps undoing all my edits when it is not clear to the present whether Air India is still ordering those planes or not. Once again, if AI is still considering those airframes in the present and still on order, PROVIDE ME THE FUCKING SOURCE or else if it's not sure, leave it blank. 2601:644:8F81:9CD0:39F9:1FDC:9827:C3E7 (talk) 19:36, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored your deletion of the sourced content and clarified in the text that the information was from July 2023. Hopefully this prevents any confusion that could arise. I suggest that you calm down and have a civil discussion with Arnav Bhate instead of throwing around choice words when you disagree with his actions. - ZLEA _T\^C 19:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please give a source that the lease has been cancelled. From your message, it is apparent that you have at least one. Arnav Bhate (talk) 13:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that sources such as

user generated, meaning that they are unreliable. - ZLEA _T\^C 14:44, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply

This is where it gets a bit strange. There is no proof that the lease was signed. That article by a "reputed journalist" only mentioned that AI "will lease" the planes. Now, how in the world does one get a public source that says the non-existent lease is "cancelled"? Trinidade (talk) 19:03, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
