Air India, India's leading airline and a Star Alliance Member, resumed non-stop flights between Delhi and Vienna, the music city of Austria, on February 18, 2023. Air India used to operate on this International route earlier. However, following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Air India suspended flights on the Delhi-Vienna-Delhi route in March 2020.
The reinstatement of this flight on the Delhi-Vienna-Delhi route, along with the recent resumption of flights to Milan and the service to Copenhagen, will bolster Air India's presence in Europe. The resumption of these flights aligns with Air India's goal of increasing international connectivity between India and other countries.
