Air India Launches ‘Cloud Chasers’ – A Fun-Filled Sky Adventure for Young Travellers
GURUGRAM, May 11, 2026 – In a move set to delight families flying out of Pune and beyond, Air India has officially launched ‘Cloud Chasers’ , a vibrant new global programme designed to make air travel more joyful, engaging, and memorable for children.
As family travel surges by 13% between 2024 and 2025, Air India is reimagining the flying experience for its youngest passengers. Cloud Chasers is not just a kit or a channel, it is a complete universe celebrating childhood curiosity, discovery, and the magic of flight.
At the heart of this programme is a playful, youthful avatar of the iconic Maharaja. Transforming from a regal mascot into an adventurous companion, the new Maharaja will guide young explorers through their journey, appearing on activity kits, certificates, and onboard touchpoints.
What’s Inside the Cloud Chasers Experience?
For Pune families planning long-haul or ultra-long-haul getaways, here’s what awaits children aboard Air India:
- Playful Kits Onboard: Children aged 3–9 years on flights exceeding 8 hours will receive a vibrant activity kit packed with puzzles, drawing sections, games, and discovery prompts, all themed around the new Maharaja.
- Personalised First Flight Certificates: A refreshed, whimsical design for the popular First Flight Certificate, signed by the captain and crew, turns a child’s first journey into a treasured keepsake.
- Curated Inflight Entertainment: The ‘Kids Zone’ on Air India’s Vista system offers over 130 hours of content, plus 35+ hours via Vista Stream on personal devices. Partnerships with Moonbug, Red Bull TV, and Vobble deliver animated, educational, and audio-based stories, perfect for minimising screen time.
- Interactive Games: Little ones can enjoy digital classics like UNO, Angry Birds, Chess, and Ludo Race, along with ‘Kids Maps’ for an immersive flight experience.
Parent-Friendly Perks
Understanding the needs of parents, Air India has integrated seamless services into Cloud Chasers:
- Priority boarding for families with children across all airports.
- Priority check-in assistance where operationally feasible.
- Infant meals and bassinet seats on select domestic and international flights.
- 24/7 dedicated support and crew trained specifically to assist families.
“With Cloud Chasers, we are reimagining what it means for families with kids to fly Air India. As the summer vacations set in, we are happy to give kids another reason to travel with us. This launch marks the first phase of a long‑term vision.”
