Air India moves at Heathrow

After more than 40 years in Heathrow’s Terminal 3 Air India has moved to Terminal 4, arguably the best terminal on the airport and now largely complete in terms of refurbishment.  Before the move, Air India was one of the longest resident airlines calling Terminal 3 home, kicking off in the 1960s with Heathrow's first ever flight to Mumbai.

Air India is somewhat unique in that, together with Kuwait Airlines, it is the only survivor of a regime that before the introduction of the Boeing 747-400, and other long range aircraft, allowed certain countries fifth freedom rights at Heathrow.  Typically El Al for many years operated its New York –Tel Aviv services through London and offered transatlantic passage from the UK. 

Air India flies to both Chicago and New York as well as Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai offering more destinations to the sub-continent than any other airline. www.airindia.com
