Air India to operate double decker planes

In an initiative to meet the high demand of passengers during the festive session of the nation, the national carrier Air India has decided to operate double decker Boeing747 aircrafts for domestic operations in two key destinations in the country. The 423 seater Boeing 747 aircrafts will be operating to and from Mumbai and Kolkata from October 16.  Out of the 423 seats, 26 would be in first class, 26 in business and 385 in economy class. One such flight will be operated each day from New Delhi to Kolkata and Mumbai from October 16 to 21. The airline would also operate special double decker planes, two flights each day on the Delhi-Mumbai-Delhi route between November 1 and November 11 due to the Diwali festival. These double decker 747 Boeing aircrafts are generally operated on international routes or used by VVIPS for travelling.
