Bombay:
Full-service airline Air India announced today that it plans to refurbish its existing widebody fleet of 27 Boeing B787-8 and 13 B777 aircraft for a $400 million investment.
The refurbishment will see a complete overhaul of the existing cabin interior, including the addition of latest-generation seats and the best in-flight entertainment in all classes, Air India said in a statement.
In addition, the refurbishment will see a premium economy cabin introduced on both fleets, it said, adding that the first-class cabin will also be retained on the 777s.
The airline said it has enlisted London-based product design firms JPA Design and Trendworks to help with the cabin interior design elements of this refurbishment program.
