p>Air India has committed to increase its Birmingham-Delhi-Amritsar operation from four flights weekly to daily services from November, when its 18th Boeing 787 ?Dreamliner? aircraft is inducted into service.
The airline?s commercial director, Pankaj Srivastava, said: ?Since starting our four times weekly Dreamliner programme from Birmingham Airport last year, we have handled more than 80,000 passengers on board 210 flights, serving business passengers, tourists and people visiting friends and relatives.
"We are committed to develop and grow in this market and once we have taken the delivery of our 18th Dreamliner aircraft in November, we hope to launch the daily operation from Birmingham Airport. This will provide an extra 1,500 seats a week and give passengers greater choice, flexibility and opportunity to travel from the convenience of Birmingham Airport to Amritsar and Delhi, and onwards on our extensive global network.?
Air India?s current schedule operates from Birmingham each Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday on its B787 Dreamliner aircraft, which has a 256 split seat cabin consisting of 18 Business Class and 238 Economy seats.
