The country's airline industry is poised for expansion with more than 1,100 planes on order by various domestic carriers. After more than 17 years, Air India, now owned by Tata Group, on Tuesday placed orders for a total of 470 planes with Airbus and Boeing. The total order, comprising wide-body and narrow-body aircraft, is the largest so far by an Indian carrier and also one of the largest single aircraft orders in the world.
