Air India is to restore its Heathrow to New York Newark service in August after a gap of seven years.
The service will launch on August 15 when transatlantic flights will operate three times a week, according to reports.
Instead of the previous Delhi-Heathrow-New York JFK routing, Air India will operate an Ahmedabad-Heathrow-New York Newark service across the Atlantic.
As part of the move, the airline will reduce its Heathrow-Delhi flights from three to two daily services from the same date. There will also be a separate Heathrow-Ahmedabad service operating once a week from August 21.
Air India is planning to use a two-class B787 Dreamliner on the route, which will be configured for 18 business and 238 economy seats.
