Air India to resume Kolkata-London flight from tomorrow

Kolkata: Air India will resume its service between Kolkata and London from tomorrow even as British Airways has decided to suspend its operation from the city the same day due to shortage of passengers.
Air India, which had suspended its service on the route in October 2008, will operate flights between Kolkata and London via Delhi all days of the week, a spokesperson of the airlines said.
An Airbus 319 will carry 122 passengers from NSC Bose International Airport here at 10.30 am and reach Delhi at 12.30 pm. From there a Boing 777-200 EK will carry 280 passengers to London, the spokesperson said.
Luthfansa and Emirates are the other two airlines which operate flights on the route. While the former has three flights a week, Emirates operates flights on all days via Dubai.
