Air India has optimised its network to offer faster connections from Australia to Europe vis India.
It says connection times have been reduced to around two hours when flying from Sydney and Melbourne in Australia to European destinations such as London, Frankfurt, Paris and Amsterdam .
The airline has launched a campaign called ‘Via’ to highlight these improved connection times and promote India as a hub.
The airline says the optimised flight schedule makes Air India flights among the fastest for travel between Australia and Europe.
“India’s geographical advantage offers convenient one-stop access for travellers from the East to West and vice-versa,” said Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India.
Air India operates seven weekly flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Delhi, and 24 from Delhi to London Heathrow.
There are also 14x weekly to Paris CDG, 14x weekly to Frankfurt, 7x weekly to Amsterdam, and 7x weekly to Milan.
Air India’s operations at Terminal 3 Delhi Airport enable same-terminal transfers for guests traveling from Australia to Europe.
Business Class passengers, Maharaja Club members, and eligible Star Alliance members can enjoy lounge services at these airports.
Air India launched the ‘Via’ marketing campaign which runs until March, to raise awareness among travellers from Australia about the destinations they can conveniently fly to via India.
