UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has welcomed a "momentous deal for Airbus and Rolls-Royce" to provide new aircraft for Air India.

The deal will support and create highly skilled jobs in Wales and Derbyshire and help boost exports and grow the economy, according to an official statement.

Sunak stated that the Air India deal with Airbus and Rolls-Royce shows "sky's the limit" for the UK's aerospace sector.

The Tata group on 14 February announced that it will buy 250 aircraft from Airbus, in what is the world's largest aviation deal in history.

UK based Rolls-Royce will supply 68 Trent XWB-97 engines to Air India planes.
