Mumbai: Victoria is set to benefit from significant economic growth and tourism opportunities following the first of Air India Ltd’s direct flights between Melbourne and Delhi, said Dr Denis Napthine MP, Premier, Minister for Regional Cities and Racing, Victoria. He said the Victorian Coalition Government was committed to increasing air services from priority markets like India because it was one of the state’s most important international source markets for tourism, business and education, a release stated.
The inaugural direct Air India service to Melbourne arrived on August 31, 2013. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner service will operate daily on a triangulated route operating three times a week— Delhi-Melbourne-Sydney-Delhi, and four times a week—Delhi-Sydney-Melbourne-Delhi.
“Air India’s flights between Delhi and Melbourne will open up significant opportunities for Victoria, and are perfectly timed to capitalise on the momentum gained from the Victorian Government’s Super Trade Mission to India in March this year,” Dr Napthine said.
