Air India will become the first airline to launch direct flights between India and the Philippines as the Gurugram, India-based airline announced its new service between Delhi and Manila.
From October 1, Air India will operate its new five-times weekly service (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday) on the Delhi-Manila route. The airline will use its Airbus A321neo aircraft with three cabin classes (Business, Premium Economy, and Economy) on the new route.
The announcement of the new Delhi-Manila routes follows the introduction of visa-free entry for up to 14 days for Indian visitors by the Philippine government.
“The introduction of our Delhi-Manila route is a yet another step in our mission to connect India with more of the world, non-stop,” said Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Air India. “As outbound travel from India grows at an unprecedented pace, with Indian tourists ranking among the highest spenders globally, the new entry rules for Indian tourists are a shot in the arm to boost tourism to the Philippines.”
Manila will become Air India's seventh destination in Southeast Asia where it currently operates flights to Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi), Phuket, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Denpasar (Bali).
