JAL to Operate Daily Flights on Tokyo - New Delhi Route
Tokyo July 6, 2007: From October 28, 2007 JAL will start offering daily flights between Tokyo and New Delhi to increase customer convenience, and meet strong business demand on the route.
At present, the airline operates four flights per week between the two cities departing Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Earlier this year JAL announced that it will increase flight frequency on this route from 4 to 5 flights per week by adding an extra flight departing on Monday from October 1, 2007. JAL operates 777-200ER aircraft on the route offering business and economy class cabins.
As business passenger demand on this route has been particularly strong, JAL has decided to increase flight frequency further. From October 28, 2007 a daily service between Tokyo-New Delhi will come into effect when JAL starts operating flights between the cities departing on Wednesday and Saturday. The flight frequency changes are subject to government approval.
JAL started operating on the Tokyo - New Delhi route in 1965.
