State-owned carrier Air India will be phasing out its remaining aged Airbus Classic A320 planes by this fiscal. The airline has already retired nine A320s from its fleet and the remaining six planes are likely to go out of service by March next year, Air India Chairman and Managing Director Ashwani Lohani said.
The Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) — one of Air India’s pilots’ body — while terming the planes as “lethal and snag-prone” had two years ago urged the aviation regulator DGCA to ground these planes and ensure passenger safety.
