More flights may connect India and UK as travel scene hots up
British Airways and Air India preparing to mount new flights to capitalise on the travel boom.
London is one of the most lucrative destinations for carriers connecting to India as the British capital is home to a large Indian diaspora besides being a leading tourist and business destination for Indians.
British Airways operates 56 daily flights from Heathrow to Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad. It will add a new daily Delhi-Heathrow flight from April next year which will augment the carrier's total flights to India to 63 per week.
«India is our second biggest market. It is strategically very important. We have a lot of links from a trade and a diaspora perspective,» Sean Doyle, CEO of British Airways said, on the sidelines of an event commemorating the airline's 100th year of flying to India.
Tata Group-owned Air India, the only Indian airline flying between the countries, will expand its presence significantly by increasing flights from Bengaluru, Goa and Ahmedabad to London. It will also add frequency between Amritsar and Birmingham to four weekly flights from the current three.
