Gurugram: Air India, India’s leading global airline, has announced the launch of non-stop Air India Delhi Manila flight starting October 1, 2025, becoming the only carrier to directly connect India and the Philippines.
The service will operate five times a week using the state-of-the-art Airbus A321neo aircraft featuring Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins.
This new route is expected to significantly boost tourism, trade, and cultural exchange between India and the Philippines.
With the Philippines recently offering 14-day visa-free access for Indian passport holders, Indian travelers can now explore top destinations such as Boracay, Palawan, and Cebu with added ease.
“As outbound travel from India grows at an unprecedented pace, our new Delhi Manila flight reflects Air India’s commitment to connecting India non-stop to more parts of the world,” said Campbell Wilson, CEO & Managing Director of Air India. “This route also opens new avenues for economic collaboration and cultural exchange.”
