Air India Boeing 777-9 / VT-XAA

Gemini 1:400 - GJAIC2279

Air India, India’s national airline founded in 1932 by J.R.D. Tata, is a major historical player that was recently acquired by the Tata Group in 2022 after decades of government ownership. Based in Delhi, it connects India to the world with a modernized fleet and has ordered a record number of new aircraft. It was the first Asian airline to introduce jets in 1960. It operates a mix of Boeing and Airbus aircraft, with more than 190 aircraft as of May 2025 serving numerous domestic and international destinations, and has been a member of Star Alliance since 2014.

Air India’s Boeing 777-9, registered as VT-XAA, represents the fulfillment of the mega-orders placed by the Indian carrier to transform its customer experience and compete with major airlines from the Gulf and Europe. Although it has received significant media attention in the aviation world and has been reproduced to scale (notably by manufacturers of collectible scale models at 1:200 and 1:400 scales), the registration number VT-XAA serves as a key benchmark marking the arrival of this technological flagship, whose entry into commercial service is part of the overall certification and delivery schedule for Boeing’s 777X program.
