印度航空公司与空客、波音签署协议，购买470架飞机

NEW DELHI: Air India on Tuesday firmed up its order of 470 Airbus and Boeing aircraft worth $70 billion at list price.

新德里：印度航空周二确认了从空客和波音采购470架飞机的订单，按标价计算价值700亿美元。

While announcing the deal this February, AI had signed a letter of intent (LoI) for 400 single and 70 twin aisles of the airframe majors which will start joining its fleet in a couple of months.

在今年2月宣布这笔交易时，印度航空已经签署了一份意向书(LoI)，购买400架单通道飞机和70架双通道飞机，这些飞机将在几个月内开始加入其机队。

This also gives AI options and purchase rights for another 370 planes, making it a potentially 840-aircraft deal.

这也赋予了印航另外370架飞机的选择权和购买权，使之可能成为840架飞机的交易。

The LoI was converted into a form order at the ongoing Paris Air Show on Tuesday when the Tata Group airline signed purchase agreements for the 470 aircraft — 190 Boeing 737MAX, 140 Airbus A320neo and 70 Airbus A321neo (400 narrow bodies) and 34 A350-1000, 20 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, 10 Boeing 777X and six A350-900 (70 wide bodies).

周二，该塔塔集团旗下的航空公司在正在进行的巴黎航展上签署了470架飞机的采购协议，其中包括190架波音737MAX、140架空客A320neo和70架空客A321neo(400架窄体飞机)、34架A350-1000、20架波音787梦想、10架波音777X和6架A350-900(70架宽体飞机)。

Tata Sons and AI chairman N Chandrasekaran said: “This landmark step further positions Air India for long-term growth and success that, we have every hope, will come together to represent the best of modern aviation to the world.”

塔塔之子兼印航董事长N Chandrasekaran表示：“这具有里程碑意义的一步进一步为印度航空的长期增长和成功奠定了基础，我们希望，我们将共同向世界展示最好的现代航空。”

AI CEO & MD Campbell Wilson said: “Our ambitious fleet renewal and expansion programme will see Air India operate the most advanced and fuel-efficient aircraft across our route network within five years. We are proud to be working with all our partners in this journey to rebuild a global airline which reflects India taking a more confident posture around the world.”

印航首席执行官兼总经理 Campbell Wilson表示：“我们雄心勃勃的机队更新和扩张计划将使印度航空在五年内在我们的航线网络上运营最先进、最省油的飞机。我们很自豪能与所有合作伙伴一起重建一家全球航空公司，这反映出印度在全球范围内展现更加自信的姿态。”

What a change from the days when Air India meant incompetent management, pathetic service, accumulation of losses, exploitation by bureaucrats, drainage of public money. Good days ahead for Air India and Indian aviation.

过去，印度航空意味着无能的管理、可悲的服务、亏损的积累、官僚的剥削、公共资金的流失。印度航空和印度航空业的好日子还在前头。

Per capita GDP by PPP method and Human Development Index generally show how a country is doing in Economy and Standard of Living. Latest figures. India No. 127 in the World in per capita GDP( PPP). India No. 132 in Human Development Index. How can we claim to be a superpower or doing great and other tall claims that are being made these days?

按购买力平价计算的人均GDP和人类发展指数通常显示一个国家在经济和生活水平方面的表现。最新数据，印度人均购买了平价(PPP)世界排名第127位。印度在人类发展指数中排名第132。我们怎么能声称自己是一个超级大国，或者说做得很好，摆出一些高姿态？

中国航空工程师正在努力造大型喷气式飞机，节省数十亿美元的外汇，减少对美国和欧洲的依赖。一旦他们开始全面生产，将创造成千上万的就业机会。另一方面，我们非常乐意大量购买飞机，给他们大订单。
