Air India’s ground staff at Mumbai Airport are striking since last night, which is causing the delay of a couple of hours for those who are flying Air India. You are advised to check before you leave home.
Air India is going ahead with launching planned Mumbai – New York JFK nonstop flights. With this Air India will offer 36 weekly flights to the USA from India. Here is the lowdown on the new flights coming up.
Air India will shut down their fifth freedom flight between London and Newark and launch Bengaluru to London within November 2018. That should give them a shot in the arm with cutting losses on the tag flight to Newark, which wasn’t making money for them.

Air India currently has a fleet of 124 aircraft excluding subsidiaries. The fleet comprises of 22 Airbus A319, 34 Airbus A320/A320neo, 20 Airbus A321, 4 Boeing B747, 18 Boeing B777 and 27 Boeing B787-8. Their Boeing B777s and B787s are heavily underutilised so is their narrowbody fleet. Air India only requires 11/16 Boeing B777 aircraft and 22/27 Boeing B787 aircraft they have in their fleet. Rest of the fleet is sitting on the ground either for maintenance or want of routes to ply on.
50 years since the first Boeing 747 rolled off the assembly line for PanAm. Now, Air India is planning to deploy their 747s on the Delhi – Kolkata and Delhi – Mumbai routes during Durga Puja and Diwali and promises a new experience to everyone.

Air India’s Boeing 787-8s are their flagship aircraft on international routes. But you don’t need to fly international to experience this great plane. I recently flew the Dreamliner from Mumbai to Delhi and was impressed with the product. Check out our review of Air India Economy Class.
Air India 101 was diverted from New York JFK on account of multiple instrument failures on board. They managed to land safely at Newark thanks to a very professional crew on board and a very cooperative and professional JFK ATC. Here is how they made this work.
Air India Miles can now be used for online redemption on Star Alliance member airlines. A few years in the making, Air India has finally joined the bandwagon of online airline redemptions.
Air India will (re)launch flights between Mumbai and Frankfurt next month, enhancing connectivity between the two financial capitals. This should add more options for Star Alliance members commuting between India and Germany.
