Air India's $400 million plan to upgrade its Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft with new seats and entertainment systems faces delays due to certification issues. The refurbishment, originally scheduled for August, will now commence next year, affecting long-haul flights. Meanwhile, the airline will begin reconfiguring Airbus A320 aircraft later this year. The delay hampers efforts to enhance passenger experience amidst complaints of broken seats and malfunctioning entertainment systems. While the exact cause of the certification delay remains unclear, Air India aims to introduce premium economy cabins and retain first-class cabins as part of the upgrade.
