Air India to offer around 1,000 Premium Economy seats daily in 2025
Hindustan TimesAir India will offer close to 1,000 premium economy class seats to passengers daily, as the airline aims to retrofit 85% of its narrow body aircraft by the second half of 2025. By the second half of this year, our entire narrow-body fleet—serving nearly 80% of these 63 million customers will be upgraded with modern, retrofitted aircraft,” Nipun Aggarwal, chief commercial and transformation officer of Air India said. Once these legacy aircraft are retrofitted almost the entire Air India’s narrow body fleet, would have been modernised,” Aggarwal said, adding that all “retrofitted aircraft will have three class configurations ”. Until the entire Air India fleet is modernised and retrofitted, the airline has chosen to prioritise Vistara aircraft on key corporate and premium routes.
