Air India employees, including senior executives, will now travel in economy class for domestic work trips, starting from April for senior executives and June for other staff.
The new policy aims to prioritize premium seating for paying customers and reflects the airline's focus on revenue growth and customer satisfaction.
Previously, staff enjoyed guaranteed business class seats, but the decision to shift to economy class aligns with Air India's strategy of optimizing resources and enhancing customer experience.
The policy change is part of Air India's ongoing transformation efforts and its attempt to position itself as a premium carrier in the competitive domestic aviation market.
