In a significant development, Air India is set to welcome its inaugural wide-body Airbus A350-900 aircraft in the national capital on Saturday. This marks a milestone for the airline, as it becomes the first Indian carrier to incorporate this advanced aircraft into its fleet. The first A350-900, featuring Air India’s new livery and interior, will undergo several post-arrival regulatory processes upon reaching Delhi. These include customs clearance, DGCA checks on equipment, ground tests, and proving flights to ensure operational readiness before passenger services commence.Short-Haul Operations and Initial Phases
Air India’s Chief, Campbell Wilson, revealed to his staff on Friday that the initial deployment of the A350-900 will involve short-haul routes, a PTI report said. The airline has ambitious plans to introduce a total of six A350 planes in the first phase of its fleet expansion.
New Uniforms and Modernization InitiativesAir India is not only advancing its fleet but is also modernizing its image. The report further said that the CEO and MD announced the impending introduction of new uniforms for the airline’s ground staff and Air India Express staff. This follows the recent introduction of updated uniforms for the cabin and cockpit crew.
Maintenance of A350 aircraftThe Tata Group-owned carrier has already secured regulatory approval for the engineering line maintenance of A350 aircraft. This significant achievement ensures the smooth operation and maintenance of all six A350 planes scheduled for induction into the fleet, demonstrating Air India’s commitment to aviation excellence.
