Sharp Interior Lift – Cabin panels and lavatories have been freshened up with new paint. Seats of Air India’s new colour scheme – Passengers will feel the modern touch of the airlines. This interior upgrade is a temporary enhancement done to improve the passenger experience.

When will the Full Cabin Makeover happen?

Earlier this process was to start in 2023. The retrofit program (new seats and entertainment system) of Boeing 787 is starting this month. The first upgraded B787 will return to service in October, and then 2-3 planes will be upgraded every month. The upgrade of narrowbody aircrafts has also started. The upgrade of the first A320 neo aircraft was completed last month and the upgrade of total 27 aircrafts will be finished by the third quarter of 2025.

When will the full upgrade be completed?

Air India will complete the light refresh of 13 Boeing 777 aircrafts by December 2024, while the full makeover will be done by 2026. The upgrade of B787 and A320 neo aircrafts is going to be completed soon.
