After more than four decades at Heathrow's Terminal 3, Air India has this week made the switch to the airport's newly refurbished Terminal 4.
To celebrate the move, Heathrow staff donned traditional Indian dress and greeted Air India customers with garlands and trays of luxury barfi sweets.
Staff members were even given lessons in welcoming passengers in Hindi to mark the first arrivals on Wednesday morning (May 25).
BAA chief executive Colin Matthews said: "I am delighted that Air India will be flying from the newly refurbished Terminal 4. It means easier journeys and a better airport experience for their passengers.
"Direct flights to India are very important for the UK, they create jobs and bring families together.
"That's why we are investing to modernise Heathrow and keep it Europe's number one airport for Indian flights."
Air India is one of T3's longest airline residents, starting its operation in the 1960s with Heathrow's first ever connection to Mumbai.
