Virgin Atlantic to resume direct flights to Mumbai

May 22, 2019 15:34

Virgin Atlantic is returning to Mumbai after four years with a new direct flight from October 27.

The UK carrier will operate daily service between London and Mumbai with a 258-seat Boeing 787 aircraft with a three class configuration.

The airline currently operates a daily service to Delhi.

Virgin Atlantic is majority owned by Delta Airlines. It flew to Mumbai between 2005 and 2009 and again from 2012-2015 before withdrawing from the route.

The grounding of Jet has given the airline a chance to relaunch its flight.
