Air India Expands its International Operations.
The Indian airline, which will renew its flights to Israel on the Delhi-Tel Aviv route on 3/2/25, will operate flights as remembered with Boeing Dreamliner planes offering full service as part of Air India's operations represented in Israel by Open Sky.
Now, as mentioned, Air India which recently merged with another airline giant - Vistara, announces the expansion of its international activities.
As remembered, the merger of the Tata Group's low-cost airlines - Air India Express and AIX Connect (formerly Air Asia India), which began on October 1, 2024, and from November 2024, Vistara stopped operating independently and became part of the Air India Group.
The union of 4 airlines owned by the Tata Corporation into one aviation group, operating one full-service airline and one low-cost airline, is the corporation's merger plan focusing on establishing Air India as a leading global airline.

Amritsar - Birmingham: increase from 3 to 4 weekly flights
Amritsar - London Gatwick: increase from 3 to 4 weekly flights
Ahmedabad - London Gatwick: increase from 3 to 5 weekly flights
Also, Air India will reinforce additional European routes:
Delhi - Zurich: increase from 4 to 5 weekly flights

And also increasing frequencies to popular destinations in Asia and Africa:
Delhi - Seoul: increase from 4 to 5 weekly flights
Delhi - Hong Kong: transition from narrow-body A321 plane to a B787- Dreamliner with 7 weekly flights
Delhi - Nairobi: increase from 3 to 4 weekly flights
It is worth noting that the modernization process of the airline's narrow-body planes is progressing well and will be completed mid-2025. The first of the older generation wide-body planes, Boeing 787, will begin with seating and new entertainment system renovations in April and re-enter service in October 2025. Subsequently, 2-3 B787 will be upgraded monthly.
The renewal of the old Boeing 777 fleet with new seats and entertainment systems, which was supposed to start in 2025, will now begin in early 2026 due to manufacturing constraints of the selected seat supplier. Meanwhile, Air India is refreshing as many other interior elements of the B777 planes during 2025, in preparation for the complete renovation plan.
