Air India invites visitors to experience its transformation journey at the pavilion via live demonstrations showcasing Business Class and Premium Economy seats on the newly retrofitted A320 family aircraft.

Air India now offers Premium Economy cabins on over eighty aircraft operating on domestic and international routes. The airline is refurbishing 27 older A320 aircraft, a project expected to be completed by mid-2025. This refurbishment will introduce new cabins, seats, upholstery, and carpets. Premium Economy cabins will be installed on these aircraft, significantly increasing the number of planes featuring a three-class configuration.

Introducing Premium Economy will provide passengers with the luxury of a dedicated cabin, extra legroom seats, improved meal options, priority services on the ground, and additional benefits.
