 Air India 's colour scheme is red and white . The aircraft were painted in white with red palace style carvings on the outside of the windows and the airline 's name written in red . The name is written in Hindi on one side and in English on the other . The window scheme was designed in line with the slogan Your Palace in the Sky . The airplanes were earlier named after Indian kings and landmarks . In 1989 , to supplement its Flying Palace livery , Air India introduced a new livery that included a metallic gold spinning wheel on a deep red @-@ coloured tail and a Boeing 747 , Rajendra Chola , was the first aircraft to be painted in the new colours .
