Two to three B787s will be upgraded per month until all 27 are completed. The retrofit of older Boeing 777s, originally scheduled for 2025, has been pushed to early 2026 due to supplier delays.

The Kochi-London Gatwick route will also be suspended from 30 March until further notice. However, the airline will continue operating 12 weekly flights to London Gatwick from Amritsar, Ahmedabad, and Goa.
