Air India will make its return to Rome, Italy after a six year absence.
From March 25, 2026, the Gurugram, India-based airline will operate four weekly flights (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) between Delhi and Rome Fiumicino Airport. Air India will use its Boeing 787-8 aircraft, featuring 18 flat beds in Business Class and 238 seats in Economy.
According to Air India, the new route between Delhi and Rome are timed for convenient connections via Delhi to destinations in Asia including Bangkok, Colombo, Ho Chi Minh City, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Phuket, and Singapore.
In a statement, Air India Chief Commercial Officer Nipun Aggarwal said: “India and Italy share deep-rooted commonalities in culture, business and trade, which makes Rome a natural addition to Air India’s expanding network. This non-stop service not only augments direct connectivity between the two capital cities but also offers travellers from Italy greater choice and seamless onward connections via our Delhi hub to vibrant destinations across the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.”
Air India previously operated flights to Rome before the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The resumption of Air India’s services to Rome, with direct flights to Delhi, marks a strategically important development that reinforces expectations of continued growth in long-haul markets in 2026,” added Ivan Bassato, Chief Aviation Officer, Aeroporti di Roma. “This new service addresses growing demand across key traffic segments, further strengthening economic and cultural ties between Italy and India and broadening opportunities for exchange between the two countries.”
With the addition of Rome, Air India will expand its network in India to eight points in mainland Europe.
