The first of six Air India Boeing 787-9 widebodies equipped with Thales’ Avant Up in-flight entertainment (IFE) platform entered service on Sunday, February 1. India's flag carrier displayed the updated aircraft at the Wings India show in Hyderabad last week.

Air India's IFE upgrade is part of a cabin interior design and fleet renewal for the airline's Dreamliners overseen by JPA Design. This has resulted in new interiors for the economy, premium economy, and business class cabins.
