Air India Boston, LA, and Other New Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FE Sources indicate that Phuket and Ho Chi Minh City are expected to launch bookings in December, while flights to Boston and LA may commence in early 2024. The initiation of flights to new international destinations is contingent upon the arrival of new and leased aircraft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are over half-a-dozen prospective international destinations under consideration. Phuket and Ho Chi Minh City services will be operated using narrow-body aircraft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, flights to Boston and LA are scheduled to be operated on leased Boeing 777<\/a> and Airbus A350<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the airline anticipates the incorporation of more than 30 wide-body and narrow-body aircraft into its fleet by March 2024, encompassing A350s, B777s, and A320neos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliable sources suggest that the airline is set to receive five Boeing 777s, six Airbus A350s, and 20 A320 aircraft. Additionally, there are plans to boost flight frequencies to Australia, with a particular focus on the Delhi-Sydney and Mumbai-Melbourne routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its winter schedule in 2023, the airline aims to operate over 200 weekly flights, having already added more than 80 weekly flights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of the winter schedule, the airline has increased frequencies by ’25X’ weekly flights (each way) on eight international routes spanning Southeast Asia, the United States, and Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
