Now fly directly to London from Chennai

A direct flight from Chennai to London is going to start from January 2021. Air India will soon operate flights between Chennai and London each week, besides flights from other cities as well. The Indian carrier is also operating flights to London from other Indian cities, including Kochi, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Goa, and Amritsar.
According to a spokesperson for the airline, despite the Coronavirus, there has been a demand for flights to London. Cities such as Goa, Kochi, Ahmedabad, and Delhi have seen quite a big demand for flights to London.

While Chennai and London will see direct flights, the scheduled international flights will continue to remain suspended as it has been since the pandemic hit. Regular flights were suspended on Since 23, 2020, due to the pandemic, when India, like the rest of the world, went under a lockdown.

The international flights that are currently operating are under the Vande Bharat Mission campaign that was launched by the Indian government back in the month of May. India is also continuing to have air bubbles with various countries since July.

With Europe slowly opening up for international travellers, going to London could be a good idea. However, England is currently under lockdown, and this is supposed to end this Wednesday. It is being speculated that most of the country will observe strict restrictions after that. Hence, it is not advisable to visit London during this time for a holiday.
