Air India begins A350 flights to JFK Airport

Additional services from Newark’s Liberty International Airport will start on January 2, 2025.

The A350 deployment is a key milestone in Air India’s transformation, part of its ambitious post-privatisation renewal, which includes the acquisition of over 500 new aircraft, with more than 40 A350s set to join the fleet.

Campbell Wilson, CEO and managing director, Air India, said: “The A350 is not just another aircraft for Air India; it is a symbol of the “new Air India” that is emerging through our 5-year Vihaan.AI post-privatisation transformation programme.

“Guest feedback on the aircraft and new customer experience has been exceptionally positive since it was launched on the Delhi-London Heathrow route in September, so we are excited to now bring it to New York.

“We are also looking forward to commencing the full interior refit of existing aircraft in 2025 which, together with the hundreds of new aircraft on order, will take Air India to new heights.”
