Tata Group promoted Air India will deploy its brand-new A350 aircraft on the Delhi-Dubai route from May 1.
This will be the first international deployment of the aircraft, which was inducted earlier this year.
Air India had started inducting the A350s earlier this year and has operated the flights within India for crew familiarisation and regulatory compliance purposes.
“With this, Air India becomes the only carrier to operate the A350 between India and Dubai,” the airline said in a statement on Thursday.
“The A350 seats on the Delhi-Dubai route are available for reservation on Air India’s website and mobile app or via travel agents,” the statement said.
Air India’s A350 aircraft feature 28 private suites, with full-flat beds in Business, 24 seats in a dedicated Premium Economy cabin, offering extra legroom and other enhancements, and 264 spacious seats in Economy.
Currently, Air India operates a total of 72 flights a week to Dubai from five Indian cities, of which 32 are from Delhi.
