New Delhi: Air India has announced the launch of a new three-class cabin configuration for its A320neo aircraft, set to enhance the flying experience on domestic and short-haul international routes.
This upgrade introduces a new Business class, an all-new premium economy, and a revamped economy cabin.
Campbell Wilson, Air India's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, stated, “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."
The newly refitted A320neo aircraft, specifically VT-RTW and VT-RTZ, now feature 8 luxurious seats in business, 24 extra legroom seats in premium economy, and 132 comfortable seats in economy.
This development marks the first time Air India is introducing premium economy cabins on its narrowbody aircraft, providing passengers with a wider range of options to suit their travel preferences.
The new cabin configurations are expected to be rolled out across the entire narrowbody fleet in the near future.
