With the growing demand for travel between major Indian cities and London, United Kingdom, many international carriers have taken steps to increase their frequency on these routes. British Airways and Air Canada are among the carriers that have already increased their frequency of flights from India to London.
In response to this growing demand, Air India, an Indian full-service carrier owned by Tata Group, has also announced plans to increase the frequency of existing flights and launch new routes for travel between India and the UK.

London Gatwick Airport, similar to Heathrow, provides easy access to the UK’s highway system, making it a convenient option for travellers looking to travel to London and South-East England by vehicle or bus. In addition, travellers can take advantage of the direct rail service from the South Terminal to Central London, which operates 24 hours a day and takes less than 30 minutes.
This direct access to the UK’s highway system and efficient rail service makes Gatwick Airport a convenient option for travellers looking to explore London and the surrounding areas.
This is part of the airline’s ongoing effort to increase its market share on international routes by putting itself on the global aviation map. The continuous improvement of operations is one of Vihaan’s main pillars.
