Air India has introduced a new service to make travel easier for passengers. Air India has introduced the 'Easy Connect' service for passengers traveling from Ahmedabad to international destinations, including Dubai and Riyadh, via Delhi. Here are the key details of the new service:
- Effective September 1, 2026, for flight AI1121 and September 2, 2026, for flight AI1117.
- Allows passengers to complete immigration and through-check-in at Ahmedabad Airport.
- Eliminates the need for baggage re-checking or terminal changes in Delhi.
The morning service, AI1117, departs Ahmedabad at 8:25 AM and arrives in Delhi at 10:15 AM, while the evening service, AI1121, departs at 8:15 PM and arrives at 10:00 PM.
Both flights are scheduled to ensure onward international connections within four hours of arrival in Delhi.Passengers holding Indian passports are required to enroll in DigiYatra to utilize this service, and must ensure their boarding passes are available via the app.
Web check-in for these specific 'Easy Connect' flights is not available at Ahmedabad, and passengers must complete customs declarations at the airport. Air India emphasizes that the 'Easy Connect' status applies to designated itineraries and is not automatically granted for tickets purchased under separate PNRs.
Travelers are advised to confirm that their booking is recognized as a through-international connection to ensure protected transit. While outbound connectivity is currently operational, Air India plans to launch inbound 'Easy Connect' services from international destinations to Ahmedabad soon, though no final date has been announced.
