New Delhi: Air India on Monday became the first Indian airline approved to modify aircraft interiors in-house. Along with Tata Technologies , the airline will now enhance its in-house capabilities for optimising performance, safety, and fleet efficiency. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation ( DGCA ) has given AI the " design organisation approval " (DOA) approval, allowing it to accelerate its ability to execute restoration tasks for continuous improvement of its fleet.
This approval will enable Air India to independently make design changes in-house and implement modifications to its aircraft interiors more efficiently. The approval was handed over to AI MD & CEO Campbell Wilson by DGCA chief D C Sharma. Air India had earlier entered into a collaboration with Tata Technologies to enhance aircraft interiors.
Campbell Wilson said: “India’s aviation sector is on a growth trajectory and Air India is playing a leading role in it. The approval reaffirms our capabilities to maintain our fleet and commitment to enhance customer experience of our aircraft interiors. The collaboration with Tata Technologies will help us meet customer expectations, aligning with our broader goals of operational excellence and self-reliance.”
Warren Harris, CEO & MD of Tata Technologies, said: “Our partnership with Air India represents a significant step forward in redefining air travel experiences through innovation and strategic engineering. By leveraging our global aerospace expertise, we are committed to delivering next-generation aircraft interiors that not only meet the highest standards of functionality and safety but also enhance customer satisfaction. This collaboration is a testament to our dedication to engineering a better world and supporting the advancement of the Indian aviation sector.”
The partnership will streamline Air India’s operations by integrating innovative digital thread solutions and smart Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services. This will improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and ensure that Air India’s fleet remains fit to fly, further enhancing passenger safety, comfort and operational reliability.
