The airline will introduce retrofitted A320neo aircraft on all Delhi-Bangkok flights, while enhancing cabin interiors on key routes to Frankfurt and Singapore from Delhi and Mumbai.

In a press statement, Air India says it will deploy A320neo on all Delhi-Bangkok flights from January 16, 2025, featuring fully refreshed interiors across Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class.

It adds that airline will also deploy its best aircraft to key Southeast Asian and European destinations, alongside the earlier introduction of upgraded cabin interiors on its A350 and B777 aircraft for the routes to the United States and the United Kingdom.
