Air India Virtual is preparing for departure — founding pilot registrations opening soon.

The fleet

A small fleet, chosen with intent.

Every type earns its place. Two narrow-bodies hold the domestic network together, three wide-bodies take it intercontinental, and nothing is in the plan simply to make the list longer.
