Delivery is between July 2011 and December 2012 and valued at about $1.5-2 billion. Jet has the option to substitute them with other models of Boeing aircraft. It also quoted that Jet will get the B777-300ER and A330-200 aircrafts, ordered in September and October 2005 respectively, during March-April 2007, the report says.

Good going 9W and glad to see that you're thinking for the future.

Also what sort of seats is Jet going to come out with their owned widebodies in J and Y. IMO their current offering on the 340s is a bit dated. What do u guys think?

AI also hasnt released any info on what their new a/c s are coming with although there was some talk of them getting their premium product reviewed by various famous people.

Many thanks to Air India source. Air India has also selected Italian interior major, Avio Interiors to install First, Executive and Economy Class seats on the brand new Boeing 777 aircraft and Economy Class seats on B737-800 aircraft of Air India Express. Avio Interiors will install the specially designed seats for a contract of over Rs 225 crore. The seat manufacturer will be exclusively designing new model seats for First Class, and Air India will have the joint patent. It will have many ultra-luxury features and will have a finish of leather and fine fleece. A passenger can also look forward to doing his work on state-of-the art electronic equipment and have a variety of electronic entertainment options. The seat will have a facilty for all this and is on consultation with leading IFE provider Thales. With this, Air India will have a world class first class and executive class products. The Executive Class seats will be electrically controlled with a back recline mechanism and a folding and sliding front leg rest. These seats will have a four way adjustable headrest. The Economy Class seats will have a porter hydraulic recline lock and mechanical control with fire blocked foam bottom cushion. The seats of B737-800 of Air India Express will have front and rear track fitting anti-rattle device with a positive locking shear pin. It will have multi-position adjustable rear footrest with floatation bottom cushion. Air India traditionally seeks the views of its clientele before introducing any product - be it the murals on the interiors of the aircraft or the seats to be procured for the newly-ordered aircraft. It may be recalled that top names from the Indian Industry like Ratan Tata, Deepak Parekh, Yash Birla, Maureen Wadia, Parameshwar Godrej, Aishwariya Rai, Shabhana Azmi, Anand Mahindra and other industrialists had come to Air India building to choose the passenger seats for the new B777 fleet from 7 models. In line with this practice, Air India also invited famous personalities like Parmeshwar Godrej, Maureen Wadia, Avantika Birla, Sunil Gavaskar among others, to help the airline choose luxury products from items ranging from Hermes bags to cosmetics for its giveaway kits to First and Executive Class passengers. The amenity kits contain all the basics that keep passengers fresh on long haul flights - from toothpaste and mouth wash to moisturiser. Cosmetic companies like Nina Ricci, Chanel and Estee Lauder will be contracted for the cosmetics. Air India will also be licensing and contracting its duty free services and onboard shopping. Leading retail outlets from London and New York will be contracted to upgrade the shopping experience. Leading Japanese electronic giants like Casio and Seiko are being approached to be contracted to supply electronic items. *** Lets hope half of this merchandise doesn't end up in the bylanes of Kalina/Santa Cruz. Will be getting the dimensions and details of the seats in abt 2 weeks. Plz be patient.

The A340/A330 J Class seats that Jet inherited on the A340s and then installed on their A330s have been rated the best (if not THE best) by assorted polls. Recently, Fortune Magazine ranked Jet's J Class product as among the 10 best in the world; Skytrax ranked the SA J Class seats as THE best around. Yes, they're not as sexy as some, but they give you privacy, they're FLAT (not lie-flat, etc.), and they face forward (something a lot of people like).
