Air India to Install Airbus Custom First Class Suites on A350-1000

Air India will use a customized Airbus-designed first class suite for its new A350-1000s, abandoning the original Safran Unity plan due to supply chain issues

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. Originally, the airline planned to use the Safran Unity platform, which would have resulted in a 'business class plus' product. However, due to supply chain issues, Air India switched suppliers. The new Airbus-designed suite is expected to feature a 1-1-1 layout, offering a more competitive hard product compared to the initial plan. This development is significant for frequent flyers tracking Air India's cabin evolution, particularly those holding Avianca LifeMiles or Air Canada Aeroplan miles who might redeem for this flagship product
