Air India welcomed its first narrow-body aircraft, the Airbus A320neo, on Sunday, as it landed at Indira Gandhi International Airport from the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France.
The A320neo aircraft joining Air India’s fleet will feature a three-class configuration: eight luxurious Business Class seats, 24 Premium Economy seats with extra legroom, and 132 Economy Class seats. “The introduction of Premium Economy cabins on narrow-body aircraft is a first for Air India,” the company noted.

This aircraft is expected to enter service in August, operating on domestic short-haul routes. Currently, three A320neo aircraft in three-class configurations with the old Air India livery have already started operating in the domestic network.
Starting early next year, Air India will offer an enhanced flying experience with new, upgraded, and refurbished aircraft in both its narrow-body and wide-body fleets.
In December last year, Tata group-owned Air India adjusted the 250-aircraft order it placed with Airbus in 2022. Originally, the order included 210 narrow-body A320 family aircraft, comprising 140 A320neo and 70 A321neo. The company has since changed this to 140 A321neo and 70 A320neo aircraft.
The remaining 40 wide-body A350s include six A350-900 and 34 A350-1000s.
