The Indian carrier will operate three flights a week from these cities to London using Boeing 787-8s, with 256 seats across business and economy classes.

Gatwick Airport CEO Stewart Wingate Stewart Wingate said: "The arrival of Air India and its four routes to London Gatwick is fantastic news for the airport and passengers across London and the south-east. India not only offers wonderful cities and beach destinations to explore but provides a wealth of opportunities for businesses and wider connectivity.
