Air India, India’s leading international carrier, said it plans to expand services of its newly inducted A350 aircraft to the US and other international destinations.

Among its international destinations, the airline flies to several cities in the Middle East.

Air India first operated the state-of-the-art Airbus A350 aircraft on the Delhi-London route.

The airline said the move to expand A350 services is in line with its ongoing transformation under the Vihaan.Ai initiative, aimed at elevating the passenger experience on all long-haul routes.

Air India’s three-class configuration

Air India’s flagship carrier A350 includes a fresh three-class configuration, offering 28 private suites with full-flat beds in Business, 24 seats in a dedicated Premium Economy cabin offering extra legroom and other enhancements, and 264 latest-generation seats in Economy.

All seats on the A350 come with the latest-generation Panasonic eX3 in-flight entertainment system and HD screens that offer more than 3,000 hours of entertainment content from around the world in 13 international and 8 Indian regional languages.

Guests in Business and Premium Economy will also enjoy updated amenity kits exclusively designed by Ferragamo and TUMI, as well as Air India’s new soft product – Vista Verve – with new chinaware, tableware, glassware and bedding.

Air India has initiated a refit to upgrade its legacy fleet, starting with its A320neo which will be transformed into a modern three-cabin configuration.

The refit will introduce 8 luxurious Business Class seats, 24 extra-legroom seats in Premium Economy, and 132 comfortable Economy Class seats on the A320neo, the airline said.
