Air India has revealed images of the carrier\u2019s first retrofitted Airbus A320neo aircraft which has been re-introduced into the airline\u2019s operational fleet after a complete cabin refit in line with airline owner Tata Group\u2019s new product specifications and standards. VT-EXN is the first of the 27 narrowbody aircraft inherited at the time of takeover that was elected to undergo a complete retrofit to the new Air India<\/a> standard, with new seats, carpets, curtain, cabin ambiance, a three-class cabin configuration, along with a fresh coat of paint featuring the new Air India livery.<\/p>\n

VT-EXN was a legacy from Air India\u2019s days as a government-owned carrier and was sent for a complete makeover as part of the airline\u2019s $400-million retrofit program for 67 legacy aircraft which will include\u00a027 narrowbody and 40 widebody planes.<\/p>\n

The retrofit of the 27 legacy narrowbody planes began in September 2024 and is expected to be completed by the July to September quarter of 2025. The retrofit process for the airline\u2019s 40 legacy wide-body aircraft is scheduled to begin with the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner set to temporarily leave the fleet in April 2025 for a makeover, with the refit of its older Boeing 777 aircraft scheduled to start later in 2025. The airline hopes to complete the wide-body retrofit plan by mid-2027.<\/p>\n
