Air India Boeing 787-9 | 4K QLED Screens, Wireless Charging: Air India Unveils First Boeing 787-9

Air India unveiled its first line-fit Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, with exclusively designed interiors as part of the airline's ongoing transformation under Tata ownership. The aircraft, registered as VT-AWA, is the first widebody aircraft to be delivered directly from Boeing's production line. It arrived in Delhi on January 11 after a non-stop flight from Boeing's Everett facility in the United States and will enter commercial service on the Mumbai-Frankfurt route from February 1. Air India Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Campbell Wilson said the aircraft marked the first production widebody from Air India's record order of 470 aircraft placed three years ago. "Though nearly 100 new and leased aircraft have already joined the Air India group's fleet since privatisation, this is the first to be designed by and for Air India," Wilson said.
