Overview

• The first Boeing 787-8 (VT-ANT) arrived at Victorville in July and the second is slated to depart in October, with both expected to return to service by December.
• All 26 legacy 787-8s will receive new three-class cabins and return by mid-2027, a timeline extended by supply chain constraints.
• The Airbus A320neo refresh has upgraded 16 of 27 aircraft so far under a programme set to finish by September 2025 thanks to a third line at GMR’s Hyderabad MRO.
• Work on 13 Boeing 777-300ERs will begin in early 2027 with completion targeted for October 2028 despite parts delays.
• This overhaul is part of Tata Group’s post-privatisation transformation and follows safety and reliability upgrades accelerated by the June 2025 Dreamliner crash.
