Air India to offer first class seats in A350-1000 planes to compete with best airlines

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Air India will have first class seats in its large wide body A350-1000 planes, with the airline seeing opportunities in the airline's network where these seats will work well as the airline pursues efforts to have a larger pie of the global skies. Air India's Chief Commercial Officer Nipun Aggarwal said first class is something that most of the top airlines still have a niche on some of the large and prominent routes. WIDE BODY PLANES In response to queries on whether Air India is looking at dry leasing or wet leasing of aircraft, Aggarwal said the airline is looking for capacity and added that getting a wide body aircraft in the market is extremely challenging. Currently, Air India has 67 wide body planes -- 27 Boeing 777s, 34 Boeing 787s, and six A350s.
