Daily schedule supports connections to several Indian cities
To enhance connectivity between India and Japan, Tata Group airline Air India will increase the frequency of its non-stop Delhi–Tokyo Haneda service from four flights a week to daily operations.
In a press statement, Air India says that this development follows its earlier shift from Tokyo Narita to Haneda Airport, which reduced travel time to Tokyo Station to approximately 30 minutes. The daily service will be operated by Air India’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft.
It adds that from June 15, flight AI358 will depart Delhi at 20:20 and arrive at Tokyo Haneda at 07:55 the following day. The return flight, AI357, will depart Tokyo Haneda at 11:50 and arrive in Delhi at 17:25. Both services will operate daily.
