Air India announced the commencement of 12 weekly flights to London’s Gatwick Airport and five extra services to Heathrow Airport on Thursday.
Air India will run a thrice-weekly service to Gatwick from towns like Amritsar, Ahmedabad, Goa, and Kochi, and will be the only scheduled airline to provide direct flights to the UK’s second-largest airport. Air India will increase weekly frequencies to Heathrow by five, with Delhi increasing from 14 to 17 times per week and Mumbai increasing from 12 to 14 times per week.
Gatwick, like Heathrow, gives travellers with direct access to the UK’s road network, making it easier to get to London and South-East England.
Furthermore, with 24-hour direct train connectivity from the South Terminal, travellers may reach Central London in less than 30 minutes.
The inclusion of additional flights is part of the airline’s continued effort to expand its footprint on the worldwide aviation map, therefore boosting its market share on foreign routes.
