In a major relief for international travelers, Air India has decided to keep running extra flights to Europe and North America until March 28, 2026, due to ongoing issues in West Asia creating massive demand. The announcement came Tuesday, highlighting the airline’s proactive approach to capacity crunch.
Specifically, from March 19 to 28, 36 additional flights will ply on Delhi-London (Heathrow), Mumbai-London (Heathrow), Delhi-Frankfurt, Delhi-Zurich, and Delhi-Toronto, adding a whopping 10,012 seats to meet the rush.
Breaking it down: Delhi-London AI165 takes off at noon on select dates, touching down evening time, with returns overnight. Mumbai’s one-off service on the 21st caters to late-night flyers.
Frankfurt gets daily boosts from the 19th through 27th, providing consistent options. Zurich’s exclusive March 24 flight offers a quick hop, while Toronto’s schedule aligns outbound and inbound for seamless travel.
This initiative builds on the airline’s earlier rollout of 78 extra flights across nine routes in mid-March. As global routes face constraints, Air India’s expansion ensures passengers have reliable choices, potentially reshaping travel patterns in the coming weeks. Experts predict sustained demand, urging early reservations.
