It’s going to be Air India’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. This plane will have two kinds of seats: 18 flat beds in the business class and 238 regular seats in the economy class. 

What’s more, people coming from 17 different Indian cities can easily get to Melbourne with just one more stop in either Delhi or Mumbai. 

Even Australia is happy about this. Natalie Hutchins, who is a minister in Victoria’s government, said this new route will help tourism and create jobs in Melbourne. She also mentioned it’s a good way for businesses in Victoria to connect with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, that’s India!
