Air France-KLM plans 50 weekly flights to India routes

Paris: In a strategic move to boost connectivity, Air France-KLM has announced an expanded winter flight schedule to India, effective from October 30. The airline group will operate up to 50 flights weekly, a notable increase from the 39 flights per week offered during the summer season.

The enhanced schedule includes additional connections to major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Air France is set to double its Delhi service with a second daily flight from Paris, and its Mumbai-Paris route will increase to six flights per week. KLM will also raise its Bengaluru-Amsterdam flights to six per week.

With dual hubs at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport and Paris Charles de Gaulle, this expansion underlines Air France-KLM’s commitment to offering flexible, convenient travel options, catering especially to the peak travel demand during winter.

On the other hand, KLM has upped the frequency on the Bengaluru-Amsterdam route to six flights per week from 4 flights per week in the summer schedule.

The Mumbai-Amsterdam route will also see the addition of a second flight, to be operated three times a week between January 14, 2025 until March. KLM already operates a flight service three times a week on this route.

With the airline group's dual hubs in Amsterdam and Paris, Charles de Gaulle, customers from India can connect to over 300 destinations globally, offering multiple travel options and seamless connectivity, as per the statement.
