Private Indian carrier Kingfisher Airlines has expanded flights from the UK with the start of a service from London to New Delhi.
The daily service gives the airline 14 flights a week from Heathrow to India, joining an established route to Mumbai.
The Airbus A330 service was the airline’s first international connection from New Delhi.
Kingfisher has followed the London launch with flights from the Indian city to Hong Kong.
The airline’s chairman and CEO Vijay Mallya said: "International traffic demand in and out of India remains robust and the unique ties between Britain and India generate attractive additional opportunities."
