Air India is accelerating its post-privatisation transformation with newly delivered Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, positioning them as the backbone of its European network. The move signals a strong long-haul strategy focused on better cabins, premium demand, and consistent product standards across key international routes.
Europe routes get Dreamliner focus
The airline is deploying 787s mainly on European sectors, while Boeing 777 aircraft continue to operate most North America flights.
Flagship routes see A350 operations
Premium destinations like London Heathrow Airport and New York services are now served by the Airbus A350, strengthening brand positioning.
Cabin retrofit programme underway
Legacy widebodies are being upgraded with modern interiors to fix long-standing passenger complaints about outdated cabins.
New line-fit aircraft with customised layout
Recently delivered 787-9s feature redesigned cabins, improved seating, and upgraded inflight experience for long-haul travellers.
Post-privatisation transformation strategy
Under Tata Group ownership, the airline is focusing on product consistency, premium traffic, and network optimisation.
Stronger competitive positioning in Europe
The enhanced onboard experience is expected to attract high-yield passengers and improve the carrier’s image in key European markets.
