Air India introduced 'Project Abhinandan,' aimed at delivering a personalised and hassle-free on-ground experience for its passengers.
Under this initiative, Air India has stationed a team of specially trained Service Assurance Officers at 16 major Indian airports. These officers will offer on-ground assistance to Air India guests at various touchpoints within the airport, including check-in areas, lounges, boarding gates, transit points, and the arrival hall.
Air India's Service Assurance Officers will strategically position themselves to proactively engage with guests, extend support, and address any issues that may arise. They are well-prepared to handle unexpected situations such as missed flights, delayed baggage deliveries, and airport misconnections, among other challenges.

Continuously exploring new ways to enhance this experience is part of our ongoing effort to transform Air India into a world-class airline. 'Project Abhinandan' is a significant step in that direction."
