Air India adds over 170 more weekly flights between major Indian cities, short-haul international routes

Air India has announced that it will add 174 additional flights per week from 26 October 2025 to improve connectivity to key domestic and short-haul international routes. These flights will be operated by the airline’s single-aisle aircraft within the scope of the Northern Winter 2025 Program.

It aims to improve connectivity to major cities in India and Southeast Asia, including those in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, during periods of high demand.

Air India’s legacy Airbus A320neo aircraft, fitted with brand new cabin interiors as part of the retrofit programme, will help operate these additional flights.

The airline said it currently operates more than 100 A320 Family aircraft, offering a significantly improved travel experience on more than 80 domestic and short-haul international routes.

Additional Delhi-London flights

This comes just days after Air India announced the expansion of its services to the UK as part of its Northern Winter 2025 programme, adding a fourth daily flight between Delhi and London (Heathrow) from October 26.

This increased Air India’s flight frequency from 24 to 28 times per week for winter and added 1,196 seats per week each way between Delhi and London (Heathrow).
