Air India has just taken delivery of its first purpose-built wide body aircraft since being privatized four years ago, and I’d say that’s a pretty major milestone.
For example, most passengers traveling to and from North America are still flying on the carrier’s woefully outdated Boeing 777s, with interiors that are falling apart.
Air India has hundreds of planes on order, and also has plans to introduce all-new cabin interiors on existing planes. Despite that, so far, not a single new purpose-built Air India wide body jet is in service, and not a single Air India wide body jet with new interiors is in service.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
