Air India will offer 36 extra services to London (from Delhi and Mumbai), Frankfurt, Zurich and Toronto from March 19-28.
Air India and Swiss are adding extra flights from Delhi to facilitate passengers impacted by ongoing West Asia conflict.
While Swiss is operating a second daily flight between Zurich-Delhi from March 19-23, Air India will offer 36 extra services to London (from Delhi and Mumbai), Frankfurt, Zurich and Toronto from March 19-28.
“Together these flights will add 10,012 seats on five routes boosting capacity and providing more choice to travellers when travel options are limited,” Air India said.
In a statement Swiss said it is responding to current high demand for flights between India and Europe.
“International air traffic in West Asia remains severely restricted. Many travellers are having to change their original travel plans and are looking for alternative routes back to Europe or onward to Asia. Consequently, demand is currently high for the existing Swiss connections between Delhi and Zurich, which are already largely fully booked,” the airline said on Tuesday.
Over two lakh passengers have travelled to India from West Asia with partial resumption of flights. Scheduled flights are being operated to Muscat and Jeddah. Indian carriers have been forced to cancel planned operations to Dubai following the local government’s decision to suspend flight permissions of foreign carriers. Emirates and flydubai, however, continue to operate flights to India.
