From the sweetness of Eid to the traditional flavours of Navratri and Gudi Padwa, guests can now savour the authentic taste of India’s rich heritage.
As part of Eid celebrations, Air India will serve the traditional dessert, Sheer Khurma, across all flights departing on March 20, 2026. The offering is available across all cabin classes and its network, including all ex-India flights, domestic routes and return catered sectors, ensuring a consistent festive experience. On flights with multiple meal services, Sheer Khurma has been incorporated into the main meal service, while the refreshment services will continue as per the scheduled menu. The initiative is being implemented across all catering partners, including TajSATS, Oberoi Flight Services, Casino Air Caterers and Flight Services (CAFS), and Ambassador’s Sky Chef (ASC), ensuring consistency in quality and service delivery across all touchpoints.
Extending the celebrations beyond inflight services, Air India’s lounges also served regionally inspired festive menus on select dates. The recently inaugurated flagship Maharaja Lounge at Delhi International Airport on customer requests will serve a special Navratri thali that includes cut-fruits, Sabudana Khichdi, Raita, Buttermilk, Paneer Sabzi, Kheer among other delicacies.
The Adani Lounge in Mumbai on 19 March served Shrikhand, Chocolate Peda, Orange Coconut Barfi, Mawa Modak, and Gujiya to mark Gudi Padwa celebrations. In addition to this, the lounge will serve a special Eid fare including Dal Ghost, Malai Chicken Gilafi Kebab, Kacchi Murg Biryani, Paneer Reshmi Handi, Shahi Tukda, Baklava, Phirni among other delicacies for lunch and dinner on 21 March.
