Tata Group-owned Air India has announced Halwara (Ludhiana) as its newest destination in India, enhancing access for travellers from the industrial heartland of Punjab to Delhi and beyond to destinations around the world.
Beginning 15 May 2026, Air India will operate two flights every day between Delhi and Halwara using its A320 Family aircraft and will become the first airline to launch flights to Halwara.
The flight schedule has been designed to offer same-day connectivity via Delhi to destinations across the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, among others.
With this, passengers from Halwara/Ludhiana and surrounding areas can conveniently travel with Air India to Delhi and take seamless, onward connections through the same terminal to destinations such as London, Birmingham, Rome, Milan, and Paris – on a single ticket with baggage through-checked to their final destinations.
Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India, said: “We are pleased to serve the people and communities in Ludhiana and neighbouring towns and cities with the convenience of travelling across continents via Delhi. With this addition to our network, we are making international travel simpler and more seamless for more customers across Punjab.”
Air India flights to Halwara are being progressively made available for booking across all channels, including Air India's official website (www.airindia.com), mobile app and through travel agents worldwide.

Air India, the Tata Group-owned airline major, has announced the launch of Cloud Chasers, a comprehensive new programme aimed at enhancing the travel experience for families and young flyers.
Fuel shortages linked to rising tensions in the Middle East could force German airports to scale back operations, cancel flights and raise fares, the Association of German Airports (ADV) has warned.
