NEW DELHI:

"We serve around 63 million customers, most of whom fly domestic or short-haul routes on our narrow-body fleet. Narrow-body aircraft make up two-thirds of our total capacity, while wide-body aircraft account for the rest. By the second half of this year, our entire narrow-body fleet—serving nearly 80% of these 63 million customers—will be upgraded with modern, retrofitted aircraft," Nipun Aggarwal, chief commercial and transformation officer of Air India said.

"This means that 80-85% of Air India passengers will experience a significantly improved product, marking a major transformation for the airline," he added.
