Indian flag-carrier Air India on Tuesday denied the media reports stating that the airline is retiring the Boeing 747s and the jumbo jets in March 2021.
“It has been reported in a section of media that Air India is set to retire its Boeing 747 aircraft from its fleet & will be operating its last flight tomorrow. The news is false and B747 will continue to remain an integral part of our fleet.” Air India said in a tweet.

The news is false and B747 will continue to remain an integral part of our fleet.
It must be noted here that some media portals on Monday published articles that stated that Air India is considering/planning to phase out the jumbo jets and did not talk about any date for the last flight by this aircraft.
It had quoted a senior official as saying, “We are planning to phase out the jumbo jets. The final decision will be taken by the Air India board, possibly in its next meeting.”
