Popcorn and movies are a match made in heaven. There we said it! Watching a highly engrossing, cringeworthy film, a Bollywood masala entertainer, or even a superhero flick without a tub of popcorn just doesn’t give the same feeling. Guess what? Air India has not just heard but even fulfilled our wish. The Indian carrier will soon offer tubs of freshly popped popcorn to First and Business Class passengers on select international flights. This makes Air India the first Indian airline to serve popcorn on its flights.
