Indian airline major Air India today announced a significant enhancement to its popular Mumbai-Frankfurt route, with the deployment of its newly delivered, first line-fit (or made-for-Air India)

B787-9 aircraft featuring new cabin interiors, starting February 1.

Air India operates between Mumbai and Frankfurt five times every week, providing reliable connectivity between the financial hubs of India and Germany. With this, all Air India flights to Germany are now operated by new or upgraded aircraft, including flights between Delhi and Frankfurt.

These upgrades reflect Air India’s ongoing fleet transformation, which will see additional widebody deliveries and retrofits throughout 2026, delivering modernised interiors to a significant portion of the long-haul fleet.
