Oct 10 (Reuters) - Air India is continuing its revival

by adding an order for 85 Airbus planes on top of an

historic order for European and U.S. jets last year, industry

sources said.

Airbus said on Wednesday an unnamed customer had placed an

order for 75 A320-family jets and 10 long-haul A350s. The

sources said Air India was behind the order, which could be

matched by a similar top-up order from Boeing ( BA ).

Tata Group's Air India was not immediately available for

comment on the deal, first reported by Bloomberg. Airbus, whose

orders bulletin was published shortly before Tata announced the

death of former chairman Ratan Tata, declined comment.
