New Delhi:
Air India, under the ownership of the Tata Group, has initiated a groundbreaking move by deploying the state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 on its Delhi to Dubai route.
This marks a significant achievement as the aircraft touched down on Dubai soil for the very first time on a Wednesday evening,
setting Air India apart as the sole carrier operating the A350 between India and Dubai.
Unveiling the Features of Airbus A350-900
The Airbus A350-900 boasts a distinguished three-class cabin layout accommodating 316 seats.
This configuration includes 28 private business suites featuring full-flat beds, 24 premium economy seats with enhanced legroom and additional amenities, alongside 264 spacious economy seats.
Enhanced Passenger Experience with In-Flight Entertainment
Passengers aboard Air India’s Airbus A350-900 are in for a treat with the latest Panasonic eX3 in-flight entertainment system installed across all seats.
Equipped with high-definition screens, travelers can enjoy a vast selection of entertainment content spanning over 2,200 hours from various corners of the globe.
Air India’s Ambitious Fleet Expansion
This initiative is part of Air India’s broader strategy following the induction of the A350 earlier this year.
The move is aligned with the airline’s ambitious plans to augment its fleet, which includes an order for 470 new aircraft placed a year ago.
Currently, Air India operates a total of 72 weekly flights to Dubai from five Indian cities, with Delhi alone accounting for 32 of these flights.
