What happened
Air India has announced it will install a customized version of the Airbus First Class Master Suite on its newly delivered Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. This decision replaces the initial plan to use the Safran Unity platform, which was intended to provide a "business class plus" product. The change is attributed to supply chain issues. The new Airbus suite is expected to feature a 1-1-1 layout, potentially offering a more competitive hard product compared to the original plan. The article notes that the product for the Boeing 777-300ERs remains an open question, as the Airbus suite is specific to that airframe. This update signals a significant upgrade in the carrier's flagship cabin offering
