Air India has marked a significant milestone with the arrival of its first refurbished Boeing 787-8 aircraft, registered as VT-ANT, at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi. This event comes as part of a $400 million plan to upgrade the airline's older twin-aisle fleet, which includes 27 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners and 13 B777 aircraft. The aircraft completed a non-stop ferry flight from San Bernardino, California, where it underwent extensive interior upgrades and was repainted in Air India's new livery. The refurbishment aims to enhance passenger experience by introducing next-generation seats and upgraded in-flight entertainment systems across all classes, including a new premium economy cabin. Although the project faced delays due to supply chain disruptions and geopolitical challenges, the airline is committed to transforming its fleet to provide a consistent and luxurious travel experience. The first refurbished aircraft is expected to enter service soon.
