The flight will leave from the New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport on March 1 at 1:30 p.m. and reach Copenhagen, the Danish capital at 22:20 p.m., after eight hours and 50 minutes, according to reports.

Air India is the only air carrier to operate direct flight services between the two nations. As per reports, Air India's chief executive Campbell Wilson was quoted as saying recently that the airline's focus would be on long-haul and business fliers in addition to leisure passengers.
