Removal of Historic+Retired fleet

Marked as missing refs since 2008. There is a ref for exactly one of the planes listed. Does anyone have sources, or should these sections be removed? Lumialover (talk) 16:04, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Options for Airbus deal

The Air India deal with Boeing and Airbus includes 370 options out of which 70 options are for Boeing. The remaining 300 options must then be Airbus. Does anyone know the composition of these options? Someone added that there are 10 options for A350-1000. Do they have a source for it? Arnav Bhate (talk) 09:24, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

First 6 Airbus A350-900 aircraft

Can someone please add the fact that the first 6 Airbus A350-900s were initially Aeroflot aircraft and have Aeroflot seating configurations?

Will Air India stick with the Aeroflot interiors or will they order their own interiors for their own ordered aircraft?

Do you have reliable sources for this? - ZLEA _T\^C 15:15, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

The planespotters source in the article also states that the six A350s are Aeroflot planes that were not taken up. Another source is this. Arnav Bhate (talk) 06:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

We should be moving away from using Planespotters as a source. Per the WP:PLANESPOTTERS discussion, Planespotters is a user-generated source and therefore unreliable. As far as I am aware, Mint and One Mile at a Time are not unreliable, but WP:SIMPLEFLYING listed below is considered generally unreliable. Furthermore, comparing the seating arrangements on the Air India and Aeroflot websites to support the claim that Air India did not change the interiors would be WP:OR. - ZLEA _T\^C 14:55, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

It's well known across the industry too: [1], [2]

Plus, if you compare the seat map of the Air India A350 on their website: [3] and the one at Aeroflot: [4], the number of seats along with the seat configuration is identical.

I understand your concerns, I was only backing up my sources in case you may have felt they were unreliable, however, these facts are NOT WP:OR as they are backed up by apropriate sources and if you have been following aviation news elsewhere, its very well known across the media that the first 6 frames were initially intended for Aeroflot and now are for Air India. [5], [6]. Please add this claim!

Noone is disputing the facts. The article can be edited by anyone. You can add the fact too. But include a reliable source. Simpleflying is not considered to be a reliable source. A good source would be the mint article that I linked. Arnav Bhate (talk) 05:24, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Leased aircraft dispute

Arnav Bhate VenFlyer98 I suggest that you two discuss your dispute here instead of edit warring. You might also seek more opinions from WP:WikiProject Aviation if your can't come to an agreement on your own. - ZLEA _T\^C 07:14, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

WP:ALFC says "Orders are for new aircraft only, other aircraft to be acquired second-hand or leased should be mentioned in the Notes." All leased aircraft are to be in notes. Not just wet-leased aircraft. In fact, wet-leased aircraft are not to be included at all according to "Please do not include wet-leased aircraft." So it is further clear that dry-leased aircraft that are yet to be delivered are to be included in notes and not in orders. Arnav Bhate (talk) 09:31, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough. Just put it in the actual notes column instead of a hidden note on the order number. VenFlyer98 (talk) 06:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

That is fine with me. Arnav Bhate (talk) 10:05, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
