BRITISH Airways and IndiGo have announced plans to increase air connectivity between India and the UK, with both airlines set to add more flights in the coming months.

British Airways said it will start an additional flight connecting London and Delhi in 2026 as part of its efforts to enhance air links between the two countries.

The airline, which has been operating in India for over 100 years, made the announcement on Wednesday as prime minister Keir Starmer leads the ‘Britain Means Business’ trade mission to India.

The visit to Mumbai follows the signing of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the two countries in July.

Meanwhile, IndiGo said it will increase its services to the UK with more flights to Manchester.

The airline, which launched its long-haul operations with the Mumbai-Manchester route on July 1, will begin flights between Delhi and Manchester from November 15.

“Responding to strong booking momentum, IndiGo will now further enhance its Winter capacity to Manchester, with the Delhi-Manchester-Delhi service going from 4x to 5x weekly starting 15 November 2025, and the frequency on the Mumbai-Manchester-Mumbai route increasing from 3x to 4x weekly from 17 November 2025,” the airline said in a statement on Thursday.

Paramount's £82.8bn Warner Bros takeover clears US hurdle amid growing scrutiny

  • The US Department of Justice has approved Paramount Skydance's £82.8bn ($111bn) takeover of Warner Bros Discovery.
  • The merger would unite major brands including CNN, HBO, CBS, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon.
  • State regulators, UK watchdogs and industry critics are still scrutinising the deal.

The proposed Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros Discovery merger has moved a step closer to reality after receiving approval from the US Department of Justice, clearing one of the biggest regulatory hurdles facing the £82.8bn ($111bn) deal.

The Paramount-Warner Bros merger, one of the largest media industry deals in recent years, would reshape the entertainment landscape by bringing together some of the world's best-known television networks, film studios and streaming businesses under a single corporate umbrella. However, despite the federal approval, the transaction remains under scrutiny in multiple jurisdictions and could still face legal challenges before it is completed.
