Last week, Air India announced the addition of 174 weekly flights on major domestic and short-haul international routes, beginning October 26, 2025, as part of its “Northern Winter Schedule”. According to an Air India press release, this expansion aims to strengthen connectivity between key Indian cities and popular destinations in Southeast Asia.

Among the key international changes, flights between Delhi and Kuala Lumpur will increase from seven to ten times a week starting November 15. Similarly, the Delhi-Denpasar (Bali) route will see an increase from seven to ten weekly flights from December 1.

Domestically, Rajasthan is expected to see a surge in flight frequencies. Air India will introduce new routes between Delhi and Jaipur with three daily flights, and Delhi and Jaisalmer with two daily flights. The Delhi-Udaipur connection will increase from two to three daily services. At the same time, Mumbai will see an increase in flights to Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur, strengthening connectivity ahead of the tourist season.

The airline also announced new and additional services to Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. From October 26, flights between Delhi and Indore will increase from three to four per day, while Delhi-Bhopal and Mumbai-Indore routes will each gain an additional flight. In Gujarat, routes such as Mumbai-Bhuj and Delhi-Rajkot will see a doubling of daily flights.

Other cities to benefit from added flights include Varanasi, Raipur, Port Blair, Aurangabad, Guwahati, Nagpur, Dehradun, Patna, and Amritsar. This broad network enhancement reflects Air India’s efforts to meet growing demand during the upcoming winter travel season.
