In a bid to offer tickets for direct flights from India to Australia, Air India, the national carrier of the nation is commencing direct services to Australia from August 29, 2013.
The flag carrier will fly a triangular route between Delhi, Sydney and Melbourne using its state of the art fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
The airline is planning to offer tickets for three weekly flights on Delhi–Melbourne–Sydney–Delhi and four weekly on Delhi – Sydney – Melbourne – Delhi to ensure wide connection between the three major metropolises of both the countries.
According to the Commercial Director, the carrier split direct services between Sydney and Melbourne to provide "both cities the benefits of non-stop services".
As yet there are no direct flights from India to Australia. Singapore Airlines running flights via Singapore is the most popular one that offers indirect connections to Australia.
With the start of these services, both business as well as leisure travellers seeking tickets for the route can now take advantage and fly directly to the continent. They can enjoy special features of avant-garde Dreamliner and reserve tickets for 256 seats including 18 in business class. Fliers can also enjoy the wide-ranging in-flight entertainment and meals.
The carrier has opened tickets reservations for the flights scheduled to operate on the sector, revealed the online sources.
