British Airways, which has been operating in India for over 100 years, is planning to expand its services in the country.
Currently, they have 56 weekly flights from India to London.
They want to add a third daily flight from Delhi to London next year, if the government says it's okay.
The airline thinks India is a very important market and wants to hire more local staff to provide better service.
They also have a call center in Gurugram with 2,000 employees who help customers from all over the world.
British Airways works with other airlines like IndiGo and Qatar Airways to offer more flight options.
They see the growth of Indian airlines as a good thing for the industry and believe India has a lot of potential as a global aviation hub.
British Airways plans to expand services in India, adding a third daily flight from Delhi to London subject to regulatory approvals.
The airline currently operates 56 weekly flights from India to London, with services from Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai.
British Airways has invested heavily in India, with a call center in Gurugram employing 2,000 staff and dedicated crew bases in each city it operates from.
