Indian aviation giant Air India plans to acquire Boeing planes rejected by Chinese carriers, aiming to expedite its revival amid the US-China trade war. Here’s what we know.

Air India is keen to secure slots for future deliveries if they open up, according to sources. The airline has previously profited from China's withdrawal, accepting 41 737 Max jets constructed for Chinese airlines, whose deliveries had been postponed since the model was grounded in 2019.
