Air India is to start four new routes from Gatwick this summer.
The airline will be flying from the airport for the first time to Goa, Ahmedabad, Amritsar and Kochi (Cochin) from March 26.
The Indian flag carrier will be running 12 flights a week between Gatwick and the four Indian destinations on Boeing 787-8 aircraft, with 256 seats across business and economy classes.
Each destination will be served by three flights a week.
Gatwick chief executive Stewart Wingate said: “The arrival of Air India and its four routes to London Gatwick is fantastic news for the airport and passengers across London and the south-east.
“India not only offers wonderful cities and beach destinations to explore but provides a wealth of opportunities for businesses and wider connectivity.
“These connections are also hugely important to our local and regional communities, with people looking to visit family and friends across India.”
