Air India has announced the introduction of four weekly non-stop flights between Delhi and Osaka's Kansai International Airport from February 2, 2027, expanding air connectivity between India and Japan. The new service will make Air India the only airline operating direct flights on the Delhi-Osaka route. The airline will deploy its Boeing 787-8 aircraft on the route, which will become its second destination in Japan after Tokyo's Haneda Airport.
Air India currently operates daily flights between Delhi and Tokyo Haneda, along with four weekly services from Mumbai to the Japanese capital. The addition of Osaka will provide Indian travellers with another direct option for visiting Japan, whether for tourism, business or family travel.
