Air India's New Nonstop Service to Amsterdam

DALLAS — Air India (AI) further expands its European network with the latest addition being flights from the Indian capital city of New Delhi (DEL) to Amsterdam (AMS).

Service is expected to begin on 11 June 2023 and run four weekly services - Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. After Milan (MXP), Copenhagen (CPH), and Vienna (VIE), Amsterdam joins the list taking AI's European network expansion for this year to four destinations.

Campbell Wilson, CEO, and MD, of Air India, said, "With the launch of this new non-stop flight to Amsterdam, AI adds further breadth to our long-haul network and more options for our customers. Together with the three other European routes started in recent months, and others to come, it supports our objective of establishing Delhi as a significant international hub."
