Dubai-India's national carrier Air India will launch the Delhi-Toronto direct flight on the occasion of the World Tourism Day on September 27 despite facing the threat of privatisation due to mounting debts.
The airline is also planning to launch a direct flight to Nairobi, Kenya sometime in October due to immense tourism potential in that area.
"We will launch Delhi-Toronto non-stop flight from September 27 on the occasion of the World Tourism Day," Air India (AI) Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Ashwini Lohani told PTI onboard the Indore-Dubai maiden flight.
AI 903 is the first international flight from Madhya Pradesh providing the much needed connectivity to the Gulf and beyond to the people of the state.
"We are also planning to launch a direct flight to Nairobi sometime in October in view of immense tourism potential in that area," Lohani said.
Though the AI is facing a debt of nearly Rs. 60,000 crore, the spirit of its CMD is very high and is taking all possible steps including reducing operational costs to keep the national carrier afloat.
Air India also plans to introduce Bhopal-Bangalore flight in October to fulfil the major demand of the people.
