Air India on Wednesday announced that it would offer a new Business class, an all-new Premium Economy, and a new Economy cabin experience on domestic and short-haul international routes.
Air India’s A320neo aircraft will now have the new three-class configuration.
Air India Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Campbell Wilson said, “The introduction of a three-class cabin to Air India’s narrowbody fleet and commencement of interior refits are important steps in the journey of enhancing the flying experience. The upgrade of the narrowbody fleet, which operates on the domestic and short-haul international network, complements the upgraded widebody experience now available on our A350 fleet and new B777s, and on all other widebodies as they are refitted over the next two years. This comprehensive upgradation of Air India’s physical product is an important component of transforming into a world-class airline.”
Air India has refitted two new A320neo aircraft – VT-RTW and VT-RTZ – in a three-class configuration featuring 8 luxurious seats in Business, 24 extra legroom seats in Premium Economy, and 132 comfortable seats in Economy, offering a wider choice to its guests. With this, Air India introduces Premium Economy cabins for the first time on narrowbody aircraft.
