Tata Group-owned Air India has embarked on a $400-million refurbishment program to upgrade 67 legacy aircraft<\/a>. This modernization effort will introduce new interiors, including seats, carpets, curtains, and upholstery.

Modernizing Air India’s Fleet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Air India\u2019s refurbishment initiative is a phased project, starting with 27 Airbus A320neo aircraft. These planes will be fitted with modern interiors, including premium economy and business-class seating options. The first A320neo (VT-EXN) has already entered the hangar for its refit, with plans for its return to service by December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remaining 40 widebody Boeing planes will follow, marking a significant overhaul of the airline’s fleet. Air India aims to retrofit three to four aircraft each month, with the entire narrowbody fleet expected to be completed by mid-2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhancing the Flying Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Campbell Wilson, CEO & MD of Air India, this refurbishment program is crucial for elevating the passenger experience. “This comprehensive upgradation is a vital component of Air India’s transformation into a world-class airline,” said Wilson. The revamped narrowbody A320neo will offer eight business-class seats, 24 extra-legroom seats in premium economy, and 132 economy seats, ensuring passengers a more comfortable journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Strategic Move in Global Aviation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The refurbishment is part of Air India’s broader strategy to reposition itself in the competitive global aviation market. With enhanced interiors and three-cabin configurations, the airline aims to provide passengers with an elevated travel experience, matching global standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
