When I booked the flight, it was to be operated by an A320neo. I was initially booked to fly on Air India’s AI 660, which usually operates at 6:15 PM from Mumbai. I hopped on one of these ex-Etihad Air India 777 aircraft yesterday, flying Business Class. However, it is being used for domestic Delhi – Mumbai and vice versa runs to train crew and figure out teething issues with the aircraft, which would be forming a new sub-fleet in Air India. This aircraft will service flights between Delhi and London Heathrow, effective September 1, 2023. They’ve taken in five Boeing 777L Aircraft (earlier with Delta), which serve US flights from Mumbai and Bengaluru, and they recently started induction of the first of their six ex-Etihad Airways Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft. As I’ve adequately discussed over time, Air India is not sitting twiddling its thumbs for its own brand-new aircraft while it tries to improve the passenger experience on its long-haul flights.
