Air India today announced an expansion of its services to the United Kingdom as part of its Northern Winter 2025 schedule, adding a fourth daily flight between Delhi and London (Heathrow), effective 26 October 2025.

The additional flight increases Air India’s frequency from 24 flights weekly to 28 flights weekly this Winter, adding 1,196 seats each way per week between Delhi and London (Heathrow). Air India operates all flights on this high-demand route using its new Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

Largest carrier between India and the UK
Air India is the largest carrier between India and the UK, operating 61x weekly and deploying 18,066 seats per week (in one direction), which translates to nearly 1.7 million seats annually on routes between the two countries. Air India connects five Indian cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, and Amritsar) to three points in the UK: London (Heathrow), London (Gatwick), and Birmingham.

New Air India experience on all Delhi-London flights
With the added daily frequency, Air India will operate two daily flights on the route with its Airbus A350-900 aircraft and two daily flights with its Boeing 787 9 aircraft. This ensures the consistent availability of Air India’s best widebody cabin products between Delhi and London, with both aircraft types featuring three cabin classes: Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy Class.

An elevated travel experience
Air India’s enhanced onboard and ground services deliver world-class experiences for all guests. The airline consistently achieves a high Net Promoter Score (NPS), averaging around 47 points per month, which reflects its high level of customer satisfaction.

These enhanced services include:
