Air India is set to boost its international flight options starting March 30 to make travel easier for everyone. The airline will add more flights to popular destinations, especially in the UK.

Here’s what to expect:

– Delhi to Heathrow: Air India will add three more flights every week, increasing the total to 24 flights from the current 21.
– Amritsar to Birmingham: Flight frequency will rise from three to four times a week.
– Amritsar to London Gatwick: This route will also increase from three to four flights each week.
– Ahmedabad to Gatwick: Flights will jump from three to five times a week.
– Delhi to Zurich: These flights will increase from four to five each week.
– Delhi to Vienna: This will go from three to four flights a week.
– Delhi to Seoul (Incheon): More demand means flights will go from four to five times weekly.
– Delhi to Hong Kong: The airline will upgrade to a more spacious Boeing 787 Dreamliner, flying every day.

In Africa, Air India will add one more flight each week between Delhi and Nairobi, bringing it to four flights weekly.

Air India is also working on modernizing its fleet. The first Boeing 787 aircraft will get new seats and an upgraded entertainment system starting in April 2025. The revamped planes will be back in service by October 2025. They plan to upgrade all 27 older planes by bringing in two to three improved ones each month.

However, due to this aircraft modernization, Air India will temporarily stop some flights. The Mumbai-Melbourne route will be suspended from March 30 to September 13, 2025. Similarly, the Kochi to London Gatwick flight will also be paused from March 30, 2025, until further notice.
