Flying Air India has just become an unforgettable experience, thanks to the recent transformation of the airline. Founded in 1932 by the visionary Tata Group, Air India has always been a symbol of India’s pioneering spirit in aviation. Today, that spirit shines brighter than ever as Air India redefines travel with comfort, innovation, and a deep connection to Indian heritage.
As soon as you enter on board, you are in a wide-body aircraft-very spacious inside with 3-3-3 seating arrangement. So if you prefer comfortable legroom when sitting in for an extended period, that’s just perfect. Every seat has a personal entertainment screen, where passengers can indulge in many movies, shows, and music. Air India supports a sustainable experience by offering reusable earphones and eco-friendly cutlery onboard for dining. There are charging ports beneath seats so one can never be unpowered at any part of the trip and never miss a film or work moment.
One of the most beautiful touches was how creatively it approached safety instructions. Air India brought out a video on “Safety Mudras,” an amalgam of traditional Indian dance forms and all safety instructions, brought alive through eight different classical and folk dance forms. One mudra or dance gesture representing each safety instruction, it’s an interesting blend of aesthetic value and knowledge. It’s a wonderfully artistic take on keeping the attention of its passengers while still upholding the traditions of storytelling in India.
For meal options, Air India again proves attention to detail. Food is served on anti-slip trays and there is also ‘sustainable’ cutlery further enhancing the environmental awareness. The meals are very deliciously flavoured.
If you are a reader, do not miss the inflight magazine, Namaste.ai, it is a truly beautiful publication filled with travel stories, cultural insights and curated articles. Talking of Air India’s stunning new uniforms by renowned designer Manish Malhotra– the red, aubergine, and gold tones are modern yet grounded in Indian tradition, representing the bold spirit of new-age, aspirational India.
In total, Air India makes a real 10/10 about comfort, traditions, and forward-thinking designs. Their vibrant uniform shows the brightness of their design, its unique safety video, and very thoughtful in-flight amenity items. It goes to say Air India is surely flying the skies to higher reaches.
