Air India is going to improve the experience of flying internationally

In an effort to provide passengers on international long-haul flights with an outstanding experience across all cabin classes, Air India has unveiled a number of guest enhancements following a period of negative press coverage.

On medium- and long-haul international flights beginning in mid-2024 when its A350-900 enters international commercial operations, the airline unveiled new amenity kits, a plush and environmentally friendly bedding update, as well as new chinaware, cutlery, and glassware—all of which are detailed below.

Amenity kits by Ferragamo for First and Business classes

Amenity kits created especially for Air India are a product of the renowned Italian luxury fashion house Ferragamo. Ferragamo body lotion, hand cream, lip balm, cozy socks, a plush eye mask, and a specially created Air India memento are all included in each First and Business class kit, which is housed in a custom presentation bag featuring distinctive motifs honoring various Indian printing styles. An Eau de Parfum is an added bonus with the First Class kit. As part of Ferragamo’s new brand identity, Air India is the first airline in the world to offer amenity kits.
