NEW DELHI | 9 MARCH 2026

In response to sustained high demand for reliable travel options amid the ongoing situation in West Asia, Air India today announced it will deploy additional capacity to five key gateways in Europe as well as to New York (JFK)1 over the next few days, supported by additional services to the Maldives and Sri Lanka.

Between 10 and 18 March 2026, Air India will operate 78 additional flights on the following routes, thus boosting much-needed capacity when travel options for passengers remain constrained:

  1.   Delhi-New York (JFK)1
  2.  Delhi-London (Heathrow)
  3.  Mumbai-London (Heathrow)
  4.  Delhi-Frankfurt
  5.  Delhi-Paris (CDG)
  6.  Delhi-Amsterdam
  7.  Delhi-Zurich
  8. Delhi-Malé
  9. Delhi-Colombo

Together, these flights add 17,660 seats on nine routes in both directions. The additional flights on the European routes will operate with B787-8 and those to Malé and Colombo will be operated with A320neo aircraft. The flights to New York (JFK) are subject to the requisite regulatory approvals and would operate with Air India’s B777-300ER aircraft.

Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India, said: “Despite the odds, Air India continues to maintain its scheduled services to Europe and North America, sustaining connectivity to several international gateways using alternative routings that are assessed as safe for operations. We are confident that passengers in need to travel to destinations in these regions will appreciate the additional options and reliability with Air India.”
