In late 2021, Air India was privatized, as Tata Group, which was Air India’s initial owner when the company was first founded, took control of the airline again. Since then, executives at the company have been working hard to transform the airline. Suffice it to say that this is no small task, given the state of Air India’s fleet (and that says nothing of the recent crash of AI171, which was another major setback).
In late 2022, Air India revealed that it would refresh the interiors of its Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft, with all new cabins, including fresh premium seats. On top of that, in early 2023, Air India placed a landmark order for hundreds of Airbus and Boeing jets, worth tens of billions of dollars.
While the announcement at the time sounded nice, nearly three years later, not a single wide body plane has new interiors. So, what’s the latest? We now have an update, and it looks like progress is finally being made… very slowly.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
