Air India, the leading airline in India, has made history by winning the title of Asia’s Leading Airline Inflight Entertainment 2024 at the prestigious World Travel Awards (WTA) held in Manila.

This is a groundbreaking achievement as it’s the first time an Indian airline has received this honor.

The World Travel Awards, known as the “Oscars of the travel industry,” celebrate excellence across all sectors of global travel and tourism. This year marked the 31st edition, showcasing the best in the business. With this award, Air India joins an exclusive group of airlines recognized for their inflight entertainment.

Rajesh Dogra, Air India’s Chief Customer Experience Officer, expressed pride in this recognition, stating, “This award is a testimony of Air India’s commitment to providing our customers with the best inflight entertainment experience.”

What Makes Air India’s Inflight Entertainment Stand Out?

The award celebrates Air India’s impressive range of Inflight Entertainment (IFE) available on its Airbus A350s, currently serving the Delhi-Heathrow route and soon to New York (JFK) in November. This IFE offering will also be featured on 64 new widebody aircraft on order, as well as on legacy aircraft after retrofitting.
