Air India Retains A319s Temporarily Amid Fleet Modernization

Air India has taken its Airbus A319 planes out of regular flights but is keeping them for a few more months.

These planes are being used as backups while the airline sells them.

Air India is updating its fleet by replacing older planes with newer ones.

The A319s were mainly used for domestic flights and some short international trips.

The airline has asked a company called Skytech AIC to help sell these planes.

The sale process has started, but it will take some time to finish.

During this time, the planes will still be used for training and as backups.
