Business jets are typically smaller than most commercial aircraft, and, accordingly, they are usually unable to achieve the same range as many commercial flights. However, several recent technological developments and efficiency increases have allowed some business aircraft to reach increasingly further destinations. Fuel tank and engine efficiency upgrades, along with aerodynamic upgrades, have improved the range of many existing families of aircraft. These upgrades have allowed some newer variants of private jets to reach over 7,500 nautical miles (8,630 miles). This range is defined as ultra-long-range in terms of the business jet industry.

Heading into 2026, Air India continues to operate an incredibly diverse fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft with narrowbodies and widebodies from the European planemaker, and widebodies from the American planemaker. There are 187 aircraft in the mainline fleet with another 100-plus additional jets with regional subsidiary Air India Express. The mainline fleet has grown significantly since our last fleet video on Air India, largely thanks to the acquisition of Vistara and the absorption of its fleet into Air India’s operations.
