London Gatwick launches a new five times weekly direct service to Bangalore with Air India
London Gatwick, part of VINCI Airports' network since end 2018, has launched a new five times weekly direct service to Bengaluru (Bangalore) with Air India. Bengaluru is the airline’s fifth destination from London Gatwick, joining existing routes to Goa, Kochi, Ahmedabad, and Amritsar. London Gatwick aims to double its connectivity to India in five years.
Passengers across London and the South East can now access a new Indian destination this summer from London Gatwick, with the launch of Air India's direct service to Bengaluru (Bangalore).
This new route, which will operate five times weekly from the South Terminal, is London Gatwick’s fifth non-stop connection to India, joining existing services to Goa, Kochi, Ahmedabad, and Amritsar.
These Air India flights, alongside TUI’s service to Goa, means there are now 19 flights per week between London Gatwick and India.
London Gatwick is actively working to double connectivity with India over the next five years, recognising the strong economic and cultural links between the countries. Key priority destinations for future growth include Delhi and Mumbai.
Stephanie Wear, VP Aviation Development, London Gatwick said: “This new service to Bengaluru is excellent news for both passengers and businesses across London and the South East. This city’s dynamic tech industry and cultural significance makes it a fantastic addition to our route network.
“It’s set to be a popular service, providing fantastic opportunities for both tourism and trade.”
