Last week, Air India unveiled a brand new logo and aircraft livery – as well as a sneak-peek video of its future Boeing 777-300ER interior.
This follows the New Delhi-based carrier’s December announcement that it would be spending US$400 million to overhaul its Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 widebody aircraft.
According to the latest news, the work will start in mid-2024 and take about two and a half years to complete – though travellers can expect to see the new logo and livery by December this year.
Air India is long overdue a revamp, especially considering its planes are known for sometimes appearing rundown with broken and filthy seats.
