Hyderabad, January 18, 2023: In a landmark moment for Indian aviation, Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia today officially inaugurated India’s and Air India's first Airbus A350 aircraft on the first day of Wings India 2024.
 

This not only marks the arrival of a state-of-the-art aircraft to Air India's fleet, but also signifies India's growing stature as a major player in the global aviation industry.
 

"The A350 is a game-changer for Air India," said Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Air India. "It will not only elevate our passenger experience but also open up new routes and opportunities for expansion.
