AI seeks financing for more aircraft

In its bid to increase its fleet strength, flag carrier Air India has sought offers from banks and financial institutions to arrange bridge financing of up to $330 million.

Air India needs interim bridge financing for a period ranging between 12-18 months to accept delivery of the three Boeing 787-8 aircraft, the airline said in a tender document.

The bridge loan facility will be repaid on conclusion of a sale and lease back arrangement, the airline said, adding that it would prefer to have a bullet repayment for this facility or a suitable moratorium period for repayment of principal amount under this facility.
