Delhi-Rome
flights resuming 25 March 2026, 4 times a week

Convenient
connections for travellers from Italy to destinations across Indian
Subcontinent and Southeast Asia via Delhi
GURUGRAM :
Air India today announced the resumption of its non-stop flights between Delhi and
Rome (FCO), marking Air India’s return to the Italian capital after nearly
six years and further expansion of its growing European network. Air India’s
services to Rome had remained suspended since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Beginning
25 March 2026, Air India will operate four times a week between Delhi and Rome
(Leonardo da Vinci International Airport - Fiumicino), just in time for guests
travelling from India to plan their springtime travels or summer holidays in
Europe. Travellers from Italy will not only have more choice for direct access
to the Indian capital, but also for seamless connections to Southeast Asia
through Air India’s growing global gateway at Delhi.
The
service to/from Rome will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays
on Air India’s Boeing 787-8 aircraft, featuring 18 flat beds in Business Class
and 238 seats in Economy Class, combining comfort, convenience and the warmth
of Indian hospitality.
Nipun
Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India, said: “Connecting India to more of the
world remains one of our top priorities. 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.”
Ivan Bassato,
Chief Aviation Officer, Aeroporti di Roma, said: “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. 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”.
Italy is one
of India’s largest trading partners in Europe, and passenger traffic between
the two countries continues to rise, supported by a large Indian community in
Italy and growing interest among Indian travellers in Italian art, history,
cuisine, and experiences.
Air
India’s flights to Rome are timed to offer convenient connections via Delhi to
destinations such as Bangkok, Colombo, Ho Chi Minh City, Kathmandu, Kuala
Lumpur, Manila, Phuket and Singapore.
