You Can Now Fly Directly To London’s Gatwick Airport From Bengaluru

You can now directly fly to London from Bengaluru with a new direct flight that India’s flag carrier Air India has announced recently. Starting August 18, a new flight from Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport will take you to London’s Gatwick International Airport. This makes Bengaluru the fifth city on Air India’s roster to receive a direct flight path to London. The airline will make it easier for you to travel as it will operate five return trips a week.

The new route strengthens Air India’s presence in the crucial UK market. With five return trips per week, Air India will be operating a total of 17 flights to and from Gatwick every week. This increased frequency provides passengers with greater flexibility and choice when planning their trips. This also makes Bengaluru the only Indian city which has direct flights to London’s two big airports: Heathrow and Gatwick.

Air India will deploy its Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft on this route, renowned for its superior comfort and passenger experience. Passengers can relax and unwind in spacious cabins, enjoy a state-of-the-art entertainment system, and savour delicious meals prepared by Air India’s culinary team.
