Air India to start direct flights from Delhi to Manila starting this October

Air India will launch non-stop flights between Delhi and Manila starting October 1, 2025, according to the official statement by Air India.

Air India will be the only airline carrier to offer direct connectivity between India and the Philippines.

The flights will operate five times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays—using the airline’s Airbus A321neo aircraft. 

The service will include Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins.

The move follows the Philippines’ recent decision to allow visa-free entry for Indian tourists for up to 14 days. 

The new connection is expected to boost tourism and business travel between the two countries.

“The introduction of our Delhi-Manila route is yet another step in our mission to connect India with more of the world, non-stop,” said Campbell Wilson, CEO and Managing Director, Air India in the official statement. 

“We are happy to facilitate new opportunities for cultural exchange and economic collaboration between the two nations,” he added.
