Air India to take India-US frequency to 47, Europe 79 non-stop flights per week

To set forth global expansion, Air India on Wednesday announced the launch of new flights connecting Mumbai with New York, Paris, and Frankfurt, and the resumption of non-stop flights connecting Delhi with Copenhagen, Milan, and Vienna.

The airline said that the new flights will take Air India’s India-US frequency to 47 non-stop flights per week, while to Europe it would be 79 weekly non-stop flights, 48 to the United Kingdom and 31 to Continental Europe. The new Mumbai-New York service will commence February 14, 2023, and will operate daily to John F Kennedy International Airport using B777-200LR aircraft.

It will complement Air India’s existing daily service from Delhi to the New York area’s John F Kennedy International Airport and 4 weekly flights to Newark Liberty airport. From Mumbai, new flights are also planned to Paris (3 weekly) and Frankfurt (4 weekly) starting next quarter.

All these flights will be operated by Air India’s B787-8 Dreamliner aircraft featuring 18 Business Class and 238 Economy Class seats. To Europe, Air India will add four weekly Delhi-Milan flights starting from February 1, 2023, and thrice-weekly flights each on Delhi-Vienna and Delhi-Copenhagen commencing from February 18 and March 1, 2023, respectively. The airline has opened bookings for the new flights, except those to Paris and Frankfurt.

Air India’s released statement said, “This expansion comes as the airline continues to make progress in augmenting its fleet with newly leased aircraft, and the return of existing aircraft to active service.”

Campbell Wilson, CEO, and MD of Air India said, “A key element of our five-year transformation plan, Vihaan.AI, is to strengthen India’s global network, connecting India’s major cities with even more destinations. The introduction of these new non-stop flights to New York, Milan, Vienna, Copenhagen, Paris, and Frankfurt, is another step in that journey, which will accelerate as our aircraft fleet expands. We look forward to welcoming guests and sharing Air India’s warm Indian hospitality with them.”
