Air India welcomed its first narrowbody aircraft in the new livery on July 7. The Airbus A320 Neo, registered VT-RTN, landed in New Delhi’s IGI Airport from the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France, marking a significant milestone in Air India’s transformation journey.
The A320neo aircraft joining the Air India fleet will feature a three-class configuration: 8 luxurious Business Class seats, 24 Premium Economy seats with extra legroom, and 132 comfortable Economy Class seats. The introduction of Premium Economy cabins on narrow-body aircraft is a first for Air India. This aircraft is expected to enter service in August 2024, operating on domestic short-haul routes. Three A320neo aircraft in three-class configurations with the old Air India livery have already started operating in the domestic network.
