New Delhi: Air India is all set for a major expansion of its domestic and short-haul international network with the addition of 174 weekly flights, starting October 26, 2025, under its Northern Winter Schedule. The new flights will be operated by the airline’s single-aisle Airbus A320 Family aircraft, which are designed to strengthen connectivity between key Indian cities and popular destinations in Southeast Asia.

To meet growing travel demand, Air India will increase services on two key Southeast Asian routes. Flights between Delhi and Kuala Lumpur will rise from 7 to 10 per week from November 15, while flights between Delhi and Denpasar (Bali) will also go up from 7 to 10 per week from December 1.

Within India, Air India is adding several new routes and increasing flight frequencies to popular destinations:

  • Rajasthan: From October 26, Air India will launch new flights between Delhi and Jaipur (3 daily) and Delhi and Jaisalmer (2 daily). It will also add more flights on existing routes — Delhi-Udaipur (now 3 daily), Mumbai-Jaipur (4 daily), Mumbai-Udaipur (4 daily), and Mumbai-Jodhpur (2 daily).
