Tata Group-owned Air India has shared the first look of its new A350 planes after a paintjob to match its new livery. The airline had rebranded itself earlier this year with a new red-aubergine-gold look and a new logo 'The Vista'.

"Here's the first look of the majestic A350 in our new livery at the paint shop in Toulouse. Our A350s start coming home this winter," Air India said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
A whopping $400 million is being spent to refurbish its entire fleet to incorporate the new look.
