With the new app, Air India intends to meet increasing demands for mobile services in India and encourage direct consumer booking, both from domestic and international locations.
Available on Android, iOS and Windows platforms, the app enables passengers to select their seat and in-flight meal, make changes to their itinerary, purchase additional services and check in.
Air India customers will also receive regular flight updates and be able to use the app for mobile boarding purposes.
The app has been integrated with Air India’s Flying Returns loyalty programme to help passengers securely access and update their accounts.
