Air India Restarts Shanghai Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Air India has simultaneously strengthened its international network and upgraded its onboard experience through two major developments. The airline resumed direct services between Delhi and Shanghai while deploying its first newly configured Boeing 787-9 aircraft on the Mumbai\u2013Frankfurt route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resumed Delhi\u2013Shanghai route restores Air India\u2019s direct connection to mainland China, serving business travelers, students, and tourists. The four-times-weekly service uses Boeing 787-8 aircraft, improving travel convenience between the two economic centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Air India introduced its first customized Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner into commercial service. The aircraft marks the airline\u2019s new cabin standard, which will gradually expand across its widebody fleet to improve passenger comfort on long-haul flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
