Tata is gloating about profitability by 2027 for Air India...think some fools believe this

Air India and its owner, Tata and SIA, are banking on its ability to build connections to Dubai to connect globally. That war against Pakistan and the closing of Pakistan's airspace to Indian airline is just a lame excuse but is nevertheless just making the problem for Air India worse going forward. Air India had already been losing money even before the war against Pakistan.

But that hype about profitability all depends on its ability to get new aircrafts on time. Boeing and Airbus have backlog stretching to 10 to 12 years, with more than 16,000 jets to deliver. Moreover, we now understand that even upgrading its run- down fleet inherited from the Indian Government is a problem without the supply chains to match. Depending on those old aircraft will drive away passengers, even its own locals.

Tata is gloating about profitability by 2027. Where are the retrofitting needed for the old aircraft that passengers are complaining about? If even changing the seats are problematic, what about maintenance issues? When are the new planes coming? 2 aircraft delivery a month or 24 a year is going to take 20 years to complete the delivery of the 470 aircrafts ordered. What about the needs of other Indian airlines? Which seems to be a hurdle trying to retire those old aircrafts without replacements.
