Air India Ltd. ordered 250 jets from Airbus SE in what is expected to form part of the largest deal for commercial aircraft in aviation history.

The airline has agreed to purchase 210 Airbus narrowbody jets and 40 of the plane maker's largest airliner, the A350 widebody, as it seeks to reinvent itself as a rival the world's biggest airlines.

The deal is expected to be followed as early as later this week by a similarly sized deal with Boeing Co., which combined, will mark the biggest ever order for commercial jets by number of aircraft.
