The airplane was given to Air India on January 7th in Seattle, and it flew to India on January 11th.
They plan to use it on long trips to other countries to make flying better for their passengers.
Air India will deploy a new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on international long-haul routes starting February 2024.
This is the first Dreamliner to join Air India's fleet after its privatization.
The aircraft was officially handed over on 7 January at Boeing's Everett factory in Seattle.
It arrived in India at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport on 11 January.
The move is part of Air India's efforts to upgrade its fleet and improve passenger experience.
