We draw your attention that the Indian airline Air India has stopped selling tickets on the Delhi-Moscow-Delhi route, the prospects for resuming flights of this airline to Russia are uncertain at the moment.”
It is worth noting that in March 2022, Russian flag carrier Aeroflot halted all its international flights due to additional circumstances that prevent the performance of flights.
But Air India decided to continue to operate flights between Moscow and Delhi and said, “We have flights from Delhi to Moscow on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We are operating this route.”
Prior to the suspension, Air India operated twice-weekly flights from Delhi to Moscow. In the absence of an Air India direct flight to Moscow, passengers will have to use transit routes via Tashkent, Istanbul, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha.
