Air India has relaunched non-stop flights between Delhi and Rome Fiumicino, resuming a route that had been suspended for nearly six years. The service operates four times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, using a Boeing 787-8 aircraft configured with 18 fully flat Business Class beds and 241 Economy seats.
Rome becomes Air India’s eighth gateway in Mainland Europe and its second Italian destination after Milan. The route is timed to offer onward connections via Delhi to Southeast Asian destinations including Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam.
The relaunch reflects sustained demand across leisure and business travel between India and Italy, underpinned by bilateral trade that exceeded USD 14 billion in 2025 and strong people-to-people ties between the two countries.
For travel advisors routing European clients through India, the resumed Delhi–Rome connection adds a convenient non-stop option with seamless regional connectivity across the subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
