Air India on Tuesday said it will operate three weekly flights from Ahmedabad to Heathrow, London, from August 1 to September 30, replacing Gatwick, London.

The airline currently operates five weekly flights on the Ahmedabad-London Gatwick route.

Besides, Air India also announced the partial restoration of schedules that were reduced following its decision to observe a  “safety pause”, in the aftermath of the June 12 Boeing 787-8 plane crash.

The partial resumption will see restoration of some frequencies from August 1, relative to July, with full restoration planned from October 1, Air India said.

From August 1 to September 30, Air India will operate three weekly flights between Ahmedabad and London (Heathrow), replacing the currently operating five weekly flights between Ahmedabad and London (Gatwick), Air India said in a statement.
