Air India currently offers Premium Economy cabins on more than eighty aircraft that are deployed on domestic and international routes. The airline has started refurbishing 27 of its legacy A320 aircraft that will be completed by mid-2025. This will see the installation of new cabins, seats, upholstery, carpets as well as the addition of Premium Economy cabins in these aircraft, thus significantly increasing the total count of aircraft in three-class configuration.
The addition of Premium Economy will offer passengers the comfort of a dedicated, upscale cabin and seats with extra legroom, enhanced meals, priority services on ground, and more.
“As Air India continues to make strides in its transformation journey to become a world-class global airline with an Indian heart, SATTE 2025 presents a befitting opportunity for us to showcase our premium offerings while also fostering relationships with travel industry stakeholders from across the globe. Through interactive activations and an immersive product display, we will offer visitors a glimpse of the new Air India,” said Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India.

This setup will transport visitors into the premium cabins of the airline’s latest A350 aircraft, which has been strategically deployed on key international routes, including Delhi-London Heathrow, New York (JFK), and Newark.
Air India’s flagship A350, with 316 seats in a three-class cabin configuration, offers wider cabins, larger windows, mood lighting, Wi-Fi connectivity onboard and advanced inflight entertainment systems, setting a new benchmark for passenger experience on airlines in India.
In addition, Air India will also display a selection of in-flight meals to showcase its refreshed menus and enhanced dining experience onboard.
