Air India mulls service from Mumbai to London Stansted

Air India may soon launch operations between Mumbai and London’s Stansted and double operations to Toronto from Delhi, said a senior airline official on Sunday.

In the past six months, the airline has launched nine flights to international destinations.

During a media tour of the airline’s various facilities, including its Maintenance, Repair and overhaul (MRO) and the iconic Air India Tower, an official said there is great demand for international flights, especially to London or Greater London. “Stansted is a good option,” he added.

Currently, Air India operates 42 weekly flights to London. “We started an Ahmedabad-London service. We thought this would reduce pressure on the Mumbai-London sector. But it hasn’t. Interestingly, Ahmedabad-London and Mumbai-London services are both doing extremely well,” he said.
