Air India is making a bold statement at the South Asia Travel & Tourism Exchange (SATTE) 2025 by showcasing its latest Business Class and Premium Economy seats from its retrofitted A320 family aircraft. Additionally, visitors at the event can experience a cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) tour of the airline’s state-of-the-art A350 aircraft. The event is taking place from February 19-21, 2025, at Yashobhoomi (India International Convention and Expo Centre) in New Delhi.
The airline’s booth at the prestigious travel and tourism exhibition is designed around its signature gold window frame, ‘The Vista,’ seamlessly integrating aesthetics with immersive digital interactions. Attendees can explore Air India’s transformation through live demonstrations of the newly upgraded A320 Business Class and Premium Economy seats.
Expanding Premium Economy Offerings
Air India currently offers Premium Economy cabins on more than 80 aircraft across domestic and international routes. As part of its fleet enhancement, the airline is refurbishing 27 of its legacy A320 aircraft, a project set for completion by mid-2025. The refurbishment includes new cabins, seats, upholstery, and carpets, along with the introduction of Premium Economy cabins, significantly increasing the number of three-class configuration aircraft.
The new Premium Economy section aims to enhance passenger comfort with spacious seating, extra legroom, upgraded meals, and priority services at airports, delivering a superior travel experience.
“As Air India continues its transformation into a world-class airline with an Indian heart, SATTE 2025 provides an ideal platform to showcase our premium offerings and engage with travel industry stakeholders worldwide. Through interactive activations and immersive product displays, we are offering visitors a glimpse of the new Air India,” said Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer of Air India.
Virtual Reality Experience of the A350
A key highlight at the Air India pavilion is a Virtual Reality experience zone that brings visitors closer to the airline’s advanced A350 fleet. This setup transports users into the premium cabins of the A350, which has been strategically deployed on key international routes such as Delhi-London Heathrow, New York (JFK), and Newark.
Air India’s flagship A350, featuring 316 seats in a three-class configuration, is designed to elevate passenger experience with its spacious cabins, larger windows, mood lighting, onboard Wi-Fi connectivity, and advanced inflight entertainment system, setting a new benchmark in Indian aviation.
Showcasing Culinary Excellence and Loyalty Program
In addition to its seating and VR showcase, Air India is offering a preview of its refreshed onboard dining experience, displaying an array of inflight meals curated to enhance passenger satisfaction.
Visitors can also enroll in the airline’s newly revamped Maharaja Club loyalty program, which offers exclusive rewards and privileges. To further engage attendees, Air India is hosting a raffle at its booth, where participants stand a chance to win curated gift hampers and complimentary Economy Class tickets.
With a focus on innovation and passenger comfort, Air India’s presence at SATTE 2025 underscores its commitment to redefining air travel and strengthening its position as a global airline.
