Air India has announced an expansion of its services to the United Kingdom for the Northern Winter 2025 schedule with the addition of a fourth daily flight between Delhi and London (Heathrow), effective 26 October 2025.
The new service will raise the airline’s Delhi–London frequency from 24 to 28 flights per week, adding 1,196 seats each way weekly. All flights on this route will be operated by Air India’s new Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-9 aircraft, both featuring three-class cabin configurations — Business, Premium Economy, and Economy.
Air India remains the largest carrier between India and the UK, with 61 weekly flights and a total capacity of 18,066 seats per week in one direction, translating to nearly 1.7 million seats annually. The airline currently connects five Indian cities — Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, and Amritsar — to London (Heathrow), London (Gatwick), and Birmingham.
“With this addition, we are further strengthening our UK operations, ensuring travellers have more flexibility and access to Air India’s upgraded widebody experience,” an airline spokesperson said.
The enhanced Delhi–London service will provide passengers with complimentary WiFi connectivity and inflight entertainment offering over 3,000 hours of content, including one of the largest Indian content libraries in the sky. Business Class and Premium Economy guests will enjoy upgraded amenities, luxury bedding, and refined dining options featuring Indian and international cuisine.
Premium travellers and eligible Maharaja Club members will continue to enjoy complimentary lounge access globally, including at London Heathrow’s Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge, Lufthansa Business Lounge, Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge, and United Club Lounge.
As part of its wider UK network optimisation, Air India is reinstating Bengaluru–London (Heathrow) flights to daily service and restoring operations on Ahmedabad–London (Gatwick), Amritsar–London (Gatwick), and Delhi–Birmingham routes to three times weekly each. The Mumbai–London (Heathrow) double daily service remains unchanged.
This latest expansion underscores Air India’s commitment to offering seamless global connectivity and a consistently elevated travel experience on all UK routes.
