New Delhi:
Tata Group-owned Air India has shared the first look of its new A350 aircraft after a paint job to match the new livery. The airline had rebranded itself earlier this year with a new red-eggplant-gold look and a new logo ‘The Vista’.

The latest A350 images were clicked during a workshop in Toulouse, France. The freshly painted planes will arrive in India this winter, the airline said.
“Here’s the first look at the majestic A350 in our new livery at the paint shop in Toulouse. Our A350s are coming home this winter,” Air India said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The new look was announced in August, months after Air India signed a multi-billion dollar aircraft deal with Airbus and Boeing.
Air India had earlier said that its new logo, The Vista, was inspired by the point of the golden window frame. The airline wants to completely transform itself with a touch of heritage, top officials said.
The new colorway and design features a palette of deep red, eggplant and gold accents, as well as a chakra-inspired pattern.
“Our transformative new brand reflects the ambition to make Air India a world-class airline serving guests around the world, representing a new India with pride on the global stage,” Campbell Wilson, CEO of Air India, had earlier said said.
