In late 2021, Air India was privatized by Tata Group, which was Air India’s initial owner when the company was first founded. Since then, executives at the company have been working hard to transform the airline. Suffice it to say that this is no small task, given the state of Air India’s fleet (and that…

The sooner the better. Those older 777s are just awful.

Are the cockroaches being removed during this retrofit? Or are they considered structural?

I thought they were bedbugs, but were only in first class.

Air India could install the very finest first class and business class seats in the sky. But frankly, all that will come to nought if they don't break their bad old habit of not properly maintaining/cleaning seats and cabins. Many lazy arses need to be kicked, and more basic training instilled in the AI maintenance/cleaning department.

World Airlines Awards 2025, AI is currently just one place below AA, after gaining six places from 2024 …. 🙂

AA by contrast actually lost five places …. 🙁

Nothing much for the ‘coach-roaches’ to crow about, now is there? …. However, Ben will be grateful for your clicks …. :-!

Oh, I’d still prefer American Airlines, especially on DEL-JFK, one of their longest routes. Have taken it in Flagship First on their 773. Not bad for a 16+ hour flight westbound.

That just proves how absurd that "World Airlines Awards 2025" (whatever that is) is.

AA is just one above an airline that asks business class passengers to fill a waiver for broken seats and bedbugs crawling in first class? Please.
Those behind "World Airlines Awards 2025" are certainly benefitting from your clicks.

The AI passengers also need to be trained.

AI had 5 ex Delta 777 200 LR. Nad 4 have already been returned. Only 1 is being used but that too for a short period only. AI also has to upgrade 6 ex Etihad 777 300 ER with new livery
