Air India will introduce 174 additional weekly flights to its major domestic and short-haul international routes starting October 26, 2025, as part of its “Northern Winter Schedule”, reports 24brussels.
The revised schedule is designed to enhance connectivity between key Indian cities and popular destinations in Southeast Asia, responding to rising passenger demand. Notably, the frequency of flights between Delhi and Kuala Lumpur will increase from seven to ten per week beginning November 15, while the Delhi-Denpasar (Bali) route will similarly rise from seven to ten weekly flights starting December 1.
On the domestic front, flight frequencies in Rajasthan will see a notable uptick. Air India plans to launch three daily flights between Delhi and Jaipur, and two daily flights between Delhi and Jaisalmer. Additionally, the Delhi-Udaipur route will increase from two to three daily services. Mumbai will also benefit from enhanced connectivity, with increased flights to Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur, coinciding with the imminent tourist season.
Further expansions will also take place in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. Flights operating between Delhi and Indore will rise from three to four daily, alongside the addition of flights on the Delhi-Bhopal and Mumbai-Indore routes. In Gujarat, the Mumbai-Bhuj and Delhi-Rajkot routes will see a doubling of daily flights.
Other cities such as Varanasi, Raipur, Port Blair, Aurangabad, Guwahati, Nagpur, Dehradun, Patna, and Amritsar will also witness increased flight services. This extensive network expansion underscores Air India’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for travel during the upcoming winter season.
Furthermore, Air India’s retrofit program for its legacy Airbus A320neo aircraft, initiated in September 2024, is nearing completion. To date, 26 of the 27 legacy A320neo aircraft have undergone retrofitting, boasting new cabin interiors across three classes: Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy Class. Combined with other modern single-aisle aircraft, Air India now operates over 100 A320 Family aircraft featuring world-class cabin interiors, significantly enhancing the travel experience on more than 80 domestic and short-haul international routes.
