Virgin Atlantic is reinstating flights from Heathrow to Mumbai after a three-year gap.
Daily flights will start from 28 October on the airline’s newest A330 aircraft, and will also offer connections to cities in the US including New York, Boston, Chicago and Washington.
Since 2009, Virgin said the number of people who have flown between Heathrow and Mumbai has grown by 9% to more than one million passengers, making it Heathrow’s 12th busiest long-haul route.
Virgin first flew to Mumbai in March 2005 but the service was suspended in 2009.
