AI Ahmedabad to London flt |
Air India is going to fly direct from Ahmedabad to London Heathrow and the same aircraft will fly on to Newark - an airport in New Jersey that is in New York metropolitan area - from this Independence Day (August 15, 2016) . This will fulfil a longstanding demand from the Gujarati community for a direct flight to London and a faster connection to the East Coast. Significantly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had during his London visit last November announced that AI will fly from Ahmedabad to London from December 15, 2015.AI did start that flight but it was not a direct one. Currently, we have an Ahmedabad-Mumbai London flight which very often involves a change of aircraft in Mumbai. This means flyers have to often get off the aircraft and then board another plane. From August 15, a Dreamliner will fly direct from Ahmedabad to London, onward to Newark and take the same route on return.
