Air India 787[size=13px]The Indian carrier currently operates just a single weekly Birmingham-Amritsar service. However, starting next month, it plans to add two additional weekly Amritsar services, and three Delhi services.[/size]
The new frequencies will be phased in from October through to December this year. Pre-Covid, Air India operated seven flights a week between Birmingham and India.
“Adding frequency and improving connectivity from major Indian cities to more international destinations is a significant focus," said Campbell Wilson, Air India chief executive. "It is a clear signal of our intent, and an early step towards a much bigger aspiration.”
Tom Screen, Birmingham’s aviation director, added: “We’re doing backward somersaults of joy at the prospect of increasing our India flight frequency to six a week. So many of our customers want this. We’re thrilled it’s happening."
