ROUTES - Air India Deploys Brand-New B787-9 For Mumbai-Frankfurt Flights From February

100% new or upgraded product deployment on all Air India flights to Germany

Air India today announced a significant enhancement to its popular Mumbai-Frankfurt route, with the deployment of its newly delivered, first line-fit (or made-for-Air India) B787-9 aircraft featuring new cabin interiors, starting 1 February 2026.

Air India operates between Mumbai and Frankfurt five times every week, providing reliable connectivity between the financial hubs of India and Germany. With this, all Air India flights to Germany are now operated by new or upgraded aircraft, including flights between Delhi and Frankfurt.

These upgrades reflect Air India’s ongoing fleet transformation, which will see additional widebody deliveries and retrofits throughout 2026, delivering modernised interiors to a significant portion of the long-haul fleet.

Beyond Frankfurt with Lufthansa codeshare

Adding further value for passengers, Air India maintains an active codeshare partnership with Lufthansa, which enables Air India guests to take seamless connections beyond Frankfurt to 29 destinations across Europe and select points in North America and South America.

Convenient connections between Germany and South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia

Air India's optimised flight schedules to Europe allow travellers from Frankfurt and other parts of Europe to take convenient one-stop connections via Delhi or Mumbai to several popular destinations in the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Australia, and vice-versa. This enhanced connectivity enables seamless journeys to cities such as Bangkok, Bali, Colombo, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Phuket, and Singapore, making it easier for business and leisure travellers to explore vibrant Asian hubs and beyond.
