Air India Showcases Its Upgraded Flying Experience on the New Airbus A350 Aircraft

Air India, India’s leading global airline, unveils its latest advertising campaign across London which will run throughout August. Branded ‘Better Non-Stop’, the campaign has been designed to showcase the airline’s upgraded flying experience in its new Airbus A350 aircraft.

Developed by McCann Worldgroup, with media bought by IPG Mediabrands, the campaign will run across approximately 9,000 train panels, 300 black taxis as well as digital screens in London offices and shopping centres. Targeted at discerning tourist and business travellers who want to visit India, or beyond, in style, the campaign will also run on the Heathrow Express and at Heathrow Airport Terminal 2, where Air India operates 31 flights a week.

The campaign will be bolstered by OTT advertising, as well as multi-touch point videos and display ads across news websites.

‘Better Non-Stop’ marks the latest step for Air India as it embarks on the next phase of its major five-year transformation journey, which will see it become a global airline with an Indian heart.

It launches at a monumental moment for Air India in the UK, as it prepares to welcome guests onboard its new flagship Airbus A350-900 aircraft from Heathrow to Delhi from 1 September 2024.

The Airbus A350-900 will transform the onboard experience and ‘Better Non-Stop’ aims to showcase how each touchpoint on the aircraft – from seats, to meals, to amenities – has been enhanced to a new standard that other airlines will strive to match.

Sunil Suresh, head of marketing, loyalty & E-commerce, Air India, said, “It has been fantastic to deliver this advertising campaign across London, which is a true manifestation of the Air India transformation journey. We are excited to reach many new travellers in London and become their preferred choice when travelling to India and beyond, especially onboard the brand-new Airbus A350-900. Air India has embraced a fresh identity, and this is only the beginning.”
