Another direct Mumbai link from London airport

Besides several services to India from the busy Heathrow Airport, a new direct air-link from London to Mumbai has been opened with the launch of Air India’s tri-weekly service from the Stansted Airport in north-east London.

It is the second long-haul route from Stansted to a destination in India, after the recent launch of direct services to Amritsar, which has since benefited passengers from London and the east of England.

The London Stansted- Mumbai route is expected to benefit passengers from Cambridge and others areas across London and the south-east. The route will be served by a 256-seat Boeing 787 Dreamliner and will initially operate until the end of the winter flight schedule.
