Air India Debuts 'Vista': Improved Inflight Entertainment

Air India announced the launch of 'Vista', a wireless inflight entertainment service for its existing wide body aircraft, amid complaints about faulty systems. The service will eventually extend to the narrow body fleet but won't be available on newly-inducted planes. Vista allows streaming on personal devices and flight tracking.

In a significant upgrade, Air India has rolled out 'Vista', its new wireless inflight entertainment service, for current wide body aircraft pending a complete retrofit.

This move comes as the Tata Group-owned airline addresses passenger complaints about malfunctioning inflight entertainment systems. The new service will also be introduced to narrow body planes but won't be available on newly-inducted B777 and A350 aircraft, according to a recent release.

Vista aims to offer uninterrupted entertainment, including streaming on personal electronic devices and a live flight tracking map, ensuring a more enjoyable flight experience. Air India currently operates a fleet of 140 aircraft, and the new wide-body planes feature an upgraded inflight entertainment system.
