Air India Brings Eid, Gudi Padwa & Navratri Flavours To Flights And Lounges With New Menu

Celebrating the festive vibes of Eid and Gudi Padwa, the airline has added some delicious and traditional food to their menu. These special changes are available both onboard and in lounges.

Air India Brings A Festive Touch To Their Food

For the Eid celebration, Air India will serve the delicious and traditional dessert Sheer Khurma on all flights departing on March 20, 2026. This special offering will be available across every cabin class and throughout its entire network. It includes domestic flights, international departures from India, and even return flights where meals are catered.

On flights where proper meals are served, passengers will get Sheer Khurma as part of that meal. But on flights that only offer snacks or light refreshments, the regular menu will stay the same. Also, Air India has made sure this festive dessert is served in the same quality everywhere by working with different catering companies like TajSATS, Oberoi Flight Services, CAFS, and Ambassador’s Sky Chef.
