That may not be quite correct.

It may be 1 of 6 repatriation flights that have been re-arranged from the previous cancelled ones.

While the ban on international flights in India is extended to 31st September 2020, the huge demand for more direct flights to UK from Amritsar has led Air India to resume its direct Amritsar-Birmingham flight under Vande Bharat Mission. Air India is already operating direct 1x weekly flights between Amritsar and London Heathrow Airport under Vande Bharat Mission since 24th August 2020.

Starting 18th September 2020, Air India will also operate 1x weekly direct flights between Amritsar-Birmingham till 24th October 2020 under Vande Bharat Mission.

Is it likely that Air India are underestimating the needs of the Midlands diaspora? A single weekly Dreamliner seems stingey to me!

I would expect at least one Amritsar and one Delhi.

Emirates achieved an average load per flight of 171 (or 41% LF) during September.

Considering Emirates is connecting onto multiple countries, and that India is closed to non-residents, 1 flight a week to India is still amazing IMHO!
