National, 27 July 2023: Air India, India’s leading global carrier and a Star Alliance member, today announced non-stop flights between Delhi and Dhaka, bringing greater convenience and comfort to travellers flying between the capital cities of India and Bangladesh.

Starting 15 September 2023, Air India will fly four times a week between the two cities using its Airbus A320 aircraft.

Air India currently flies thrice weekly between Kolkata and Dhaka. The additional frequency will help serve the increased demand for international travel to and from Dhaka on the back of Bangladesh’s rapid economic growth and overall development.

Air India’s flight AI237 will depart Delhi at 1755hrs, arriving in Dhaka at 2045hrs. The return flight AI238 will leave Dhaka at 2145hrs, arriving in Delhi at 2350hrs. All times are local.

Bookings for the flights progressively open today on all channels, including Air India’s website: (www.airindia.com), mobile app, and through travel agents (including online travel agents).

With four additional weekly flights from Delhi, Air India offers enhanced frequency to Dhaka, enabling convenient connections via Delhi to and/or from 14 destinations in India and 14 destinations across North America, UK, Australia, the Middle East, and the Far East.

About Air India:

Founded by the legendary JRD Tata, Air India pioneered India’s aviation sector. Since its first flight on October 15, 1932, Air India has built an extensive domestic network and also connects with non-stop flights to cities around the world, across USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Far-East, South-East Asia, Australia, and the Gulf. After 69 years as a government-owned enterprise, Air India and Air India Express were welcomed back into the Tata group in January 2022.

Air India is navigating through a major five-year transformation roadmap under the aegis of Vihaan.AI, with an ambition to become a world class airline with an Indian heart. The first phase of this transformation, the taxi phase was recently concluded, and focused on fixing the basics. These included bringing back to service many long grounded aircraft, addition of talent across flying and ground functions, rapid upgradation of technology and strengthening of customer care initiatives amongst others.

Member of Star Alliance, the largest global airline consortium of leading international airlines, Air India offers seamless connectivity and facilities to passengers all over the world.

It has committed over USD 400MM to completely refit the interiors of all wide-body aircraft and has also planned an investment of over USD 200MM in digital and technology. In January 2023, as part of its transformation efforts, Air India placed the industry’s largest ever order of 470 aircraft across Boeing and Airbus and these will start joining its fleet from later this year. With its enhanced fleet, network and improved on-time performance, the airline is revamping its customer proposition.
