The Indian Aviation sector is growing at a rapid pace. There are many fleets which fly above the sky. In order to fulfil the increasing demand, all the major domestic carriers like IndiGo, GoAir, Air India and others have a composition of different aircraft under their domain. All the different aircraft which are operated by the airlines have a special purpose. Here we’ll cover the top 5 Aircraft that fly in the Indian Skies.

 

Airbus A320

Airbus A320 is the most famous and demanding aircraft in domestic aviation. The Airbus A320 was first launched in 1984 and had different variants like Airbus A318, A319 and A321. In recent times, A320 is also known as A320ceo, which is followed by the introduction of the A320neo. Airbus A320 has a seating capacity of 107 to 236 passengers, and currently, there are 428 A320 operating in Indian Aviation. American Airlines is currently the largest operator of Airbus A320. The nation operates 412 aircraft in service. The major competitor of Airbus A320 is the Boeing 737. However, in October 2019, Airbus A320 became the highest-selling commercial aircraft. The Airbus A320 is widely used by all low-cost airlines as it is one of the most demanding aircraft in the aviation industry.

Boeing 737

The Boeing 737 is a narrow-body aircraft which was first developed in the United States by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The aircraft has different variants, and it can accommodate approximately 85 to 215 passengers. According to the latest figures, there are almost 117 Boeing 737 in Indian aviation, and a major chunk is used by SpiceJet. Boeing 737 has a variant which was Boeing T-43. The aircraft further developed into different aircraft like Boeing 737 classic, Boeing 737 next generation and Boeing 737 Max.

Boeing 747

The Boeing 747 is one of the most powerful commercial cargo aircraft. Boeing 747 uses a double-deck configuration which is used in the freighter, commercial passenger travel and other versions. In the current Indian Aviation sector, 2 Boeing 747 are used by the national carrier of India that is Air India. No other Indian carrier uses Boeing 747 for passenger or cargo purposes. The interior of Boeing 747 is pretty flexible as it can be used as a first-class lounge or extra seat. Not only this, the aircraft can easily be converted into a cargo carrier if the seats are removed, and the cargo door is installed.

Boeing 787

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a medium-size twin-engine jet airline which was also manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
