Air India will deploy a new aircraft on one of its key routes from Delhi to Heathrow Airport.
Starting on 1 September the flagship aircraft will operate twice daily on the route, accounting for 14 of the airline’s 17 weekly flights, and will replace the Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 787-8 currently deployed.
As a result of the change, an additional 336 seats will be available on the Delhi-London Heathrow route each week.
With the deployment of the A350-900 to London Heathrow in September, Air India will have upgraded 90% of all its flights to London Heathrow.
From April 2024, Air India started deploying its recently inducted Boeing 777-300ERs with elevated cabin interiors on all flights across its Mumbai-London Heathrow route to provide upgraded cabin interiors and in-flight entertainment systems, while bringing first class back on the Heathrow-Mumbai route.
Air India will introduce its Premium Economy class for the first time on the Delhi-Heathrow route with A350-900.
Air India CEO and managing director Campbell Wilson said: “The deployment of our flagship A350s and the B777s with upgraded cabin interiors to London Heathrow marks a significant milestone for Air India.
“It demonstrates our commitment to elevating the travel experience of our guests to truly world-class standards and to going beyond just meeting customer expectations as we continue to renew our fleet.”
