Air India is gearing up to deploy its new A350 aircraft on the busy Dubai- Delhi route this summer season. And in this way, for the first time, this aircraft model will be used for short-distance international travel.
This seeks to satisfy the demand for flights from travelers seeking to visit the most beautiful places in India. Among them the Taj Mahal – one of the New 7 Wonders of the World – and one of the most attractive and demanded historical places in India.
Beginning on May 1, 2024, passengers traveling from Delhi to Dubai will experience the newly designed A350, featuring a modern aesthetic. This aircraft will serve the route under flight numbers AI995/996, departing daily from Delhi at 8:45 PM and arriving in Dubai by 10:45 PM. The return flight will leave Dubai at 12:15 AM and reach Delhi at 4:55 AM.
As the exclusive operator on this route with the A350, Air India is set to enhance the travel experience between these two destinations.
Travelers looking to reserve their seats on the A350 for this route can do so via Air India’s official website, its mobile application, or through travel agents.

The A350 is outfitted with 28 private suites that feature fully-flat beds in Business Class, 24 seats in a specially designated Premium Economy section that offers additional legroom and amenities, and an impressive 264 seats in Economy.
Furthermore, every seat is equipped with the latest Panasonic eX3 in-flight entertainment system, which includes high-definition screens and access to over 2,200 hours of international entertainment.
Earlier in the year, Air India began using the A350s on domestic routes across India to train crews and ensure regulatory compliance.
Currently, Air India operates 72 weekly flights to Dubai from five different cities in India, including 32 flights that originate from Delhi.
