“British Airways will now operate 20 direct return flights across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad providing convenient options for customers wanting to travel to London, Heathrow,” British Airways said in a statement.
Earlier, the UK government moved India from the ”red” list to the ”amber” list on August 8. In addition, the Indian government allowed UK carriers to operate additional flights, increasing the weekly cap from 15 to 34 per week.
“It is wonderful to see connections between India and London being restored after months of uncertainty caused by the global pandemic. These additional new flights will allow our Indian customers, who have waited so patiently, to reunite with their loved ones. The flights also provide new travel options for Indian students wishing to travel to the UK and beyond for further studies, ahead of the start of a new academic year,” said Moran Birger, British Airways” Head of Sales for South Asia, Middle East and Africa.
Customers booking with British Airways are able to exchange their booking for a voucher or move their dates without incurring a change fee, read the statement.
