Featuring 336 seats in a three-class configuration – Business, Premium Economy, Economy – the airline will introduce Premium Economy seats and lie-flat beds in Business class on the two routes.


“We are encouraged by the positive guest feedback we have received from the domestic deployment of our A350s to offer our hero product on the Delhi-New York JFK and Delhi-Newark routes. This is a significant leap forward for our U.S. operations that also underscores our commitment to continuous improvement,” said Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Air India.  


The two New York City-area hubs will be the third and fourth international destinations where Air India will deploy it A350.
