Air India expands UK connectivity with fourth daily flight between Delhi and Heathrow
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
Air India 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 October 26. 2025.
The additional flight increases Air India’s frequency from 24x weekly to 28x weekly this Winter, adding 1,196 seats each way per week between Delhi and London (Heathrow). All Air India flights on the high-demand route are operated by the airline’s new Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
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, namely London (Heathrow), London (Gatwick), and Birmingham.
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.
The expanded operations include the optimisation of services on other UK routes, some of which were temporarily adjusted due to operational considerations:
•Mumbai-London (Heathrow): Continues to operate double daily or 14x weekly
•Bengaluru-London (Heathrow): Reinstatement of 3x weekly flights previously curtailed, bringing the service back to a full 7x weekly operation
•Ahmedabad-London (Gatwick): Services on this route were temporarily relocated to London (Heathrow) in July 2025, which now return to London (Gatwick), operating 3x weekly
•Amritsar-London (Gatwick): Restored to operate 3x weekly
•Delhi-Birmingham: Restored to operate 3x weekly
•Amritsar-Birmingham: Will continue to operate 3x weekly
