Starting September 20, 2024, Air India will operate daily, non-stop flights to Kolkata from Bengaluru and Hyderabad for nearly a month. Additionally, the airline has already increased the frequency of flights to Kolkata from Delhi, effective August 15, 2024, and will do so from Mumbai starting September 25, 2024.
With these new additions, the frequency of flights on the Delhi-Kolkata route will rise from 28x weekly to 35x weekly, and on the Mumbai-Kolkata route from 21x weekly to 28x weekly. The newly added flights are scheduled at convenient times, offering travelers greater flexibility and ease as they plan to visit their loved ones during the festive season.
