It is the Essex-based airport’s first link with the financial centre in India and comes three months after Air India launched its inaugural service from Stansted to Amritsar – the only direct flight from London airports.
The route will fly three times a week from 21 February for the winter season, using a 256-seat Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
“This new route is further evidence of the growing demand from businesses and passengers across the region for more long-haul connections from their local airport,” said Ken O’Toole, Stansted’s chief executive.
