[odd variants] Air India's double boogied A320s

Air India owned several A320 aircraft with double wheels. By default, all A320s are delivered with a singe-wheel setup by Airbus. Back in the early 90s, Air India wanted to operate A320s to airports in India which could not carry the weight of an A320 on the ramps and taxiways. To help distribute the weight more evenly, Air India asked Airbus to design and deliver double-wheeld A320s. Several A320s were delivered with double-wheel setup in the early 90s to Air India.

Nowadays, the infrastructure in India has vastly improved and the weight constraint is no longer in place. Air India has stored or scrapped all double-wheel A320s.
