New Delhi: With a view to strengthen its footprint in Europe, Air India has resumed its non-stop service on the Delhi-Copenhagen-Delhi sector after three years.
This service will further strengthen Air India’s foothold in Europe, after the recently resumed flights to Vienna and Milan, the airline said.
Passengers can now conveniently fly non-stop to Copenhagen, a popular tourism and business centre and an educational hub of Europe.
It is one of the most alluring Scandinavian destinations, known for its scenic beauty, architecture, and cultural history.
This service will provide Indian travellers with convenient access to not only Copenhagen but also to several popular destinations around Copenhagen, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland besides catering to the demand of the corporate travellers, the student community and the Indian diaspora in general will benefit from this service.
Air India Flight AI157 now operates on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays from Delhi.
The flight will be operated by Air India’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, featuring a two-class cabin configuration, comprising 18 Business Class and 236 Economy Class seats.
With this service, Air India’s India-Europe frequency has increased to 79 non-stop flights per week.
Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial and Transformation Officer, Air India, said: “A key element of Air India’s Vihaan.AI transformation is considerably improving connectivity between India’s major cities and major global destinations. Resuming this non-stop service from Delhi to Copenhagen, following the relaunch of the flights between Delhi and Vienna, affirms our commitment to develop a major international hub in India’s capital.”
Earlier, at a ceremony to mark the resumption of the flight, Rajesh Dogra, Chief Customer Experience & Global Head, Ground Handling, Air India, lit the ceremonial lamp and cut the ribbon at IGI Airport, on March 1.
A specially curated menu was also offered to guests on this flight which went full.
