Air India Enhances Europe-South East Asia Connectivity Via India, Cuts Travel Time By 2.5 Hours

Mumbai: Air India will now offer enhanced connectivity from the United Kingdom and Europe to Australia and South-East Asia via India and vice-versa, reducing connection times to around 2.5 hours. The airline also launched a campaign called ‘Via’ to highlight these improved connection times and promote India as a world-class hub.

With its long-term vision of building India as a global transit hub, Air India has optimised its international network to offer faster connections to travellers from the UK and rest of Europe to Australia and South-East Asia via India and vice versa, reducing connection times to around 2.5 hours.

The optimised flight schedule makes Air India flights amongst the fastest for travel between Europe and Australia, South-East Asia, with comfortable transit times at Air India’s hubs in Delhi and Mumbai.

Air India expects to enable seamless same-terminal transfers for guests travelling to Australia and South-East Asia from the UK and rest of Europe and vice-versa through its operations at Terminal 3 Delhi Airport and T2 Mumbai Airport. These terminals boast world-class design, architecture, and operational efficiency, enriched with Indian heritage and cultural character.

Air India has also launched a marketing campaign titled 'Via', running until March, to raise awareness among UK travellers about the destinations they can conveniently fly to via India.

Nipun Aggarwal, chief commercial officer at Air India, said, “India’s geographical advantage and impressive airport infrastructure, combined with Air India’s robust route network, offer convenient one-stop access for travellers from the West to East and vice-versa.”
