In response to growing travel demand, Air India has announced a significant expansion of its services to three key international destinations: Bangkok, Colombo, and Kathmandu. The new flight schedules are set to commence on July 7, 2025, adding over 7,000 seats weekly across these popular routes.
The airline will introduce a sixth daily flight between Delhi and Kathmandu, elevating the weekly frequency from 35 to 42 flights. Service between Delhi and Colombo will be doubled, moving from one to two daily flights, which increases the weekly frequency from seven to fourteen. Additionally, a third daily flight will be added between Mumbai and Bangkok, raising the service from 13 to 18 flights per week.
These additions are strategically timed to enhance connectivity, providing travelers with seamless one-stop routes to and from destinations in North America, Europe, and the Far East.

With this expansion, Air India’s total weekly operations will increase to 42 flights for Kathmandu, 28 for Colombo, and 46 for Bangkok.
