Will they ever get off the ground (excuse the pun) and if they do, will they last. I'd like to see Air India back on the Delhi service, providing competition onwards to Australia.Hans will provide much needed capacity to ATQ soon.

There must be huge scope all across the Indian sub continent. And not necessarily to the usual destinations. I'm sure passengers would appreciate services to Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad etc, not to mention Karachi and Peshawar ( we once had services to both these in the past ).Dhaka in Bangladesh also important.
Not everyone needs the hassle, expense and experience of Heathrow.
Some of these destinations would support once or twice a week surely.
I could not agree more with of your comments we really need a direct daily Delhi service only back as well as a direct daily Mumbai service with airlines like Vistara or the new Jet Airways once it full re-starts! There are many other Indian communities within Birmingham who require to get to other cities within India where flights are only accessible through Delhi & Mumbai & not Amritsar. My family are from Kolkata, West Bengal (East India) & there are no connections to Kolkata through Amritsar. It’s a huge inconvenient as well as tiring for many have to connect via 2 cities before reaching their final destination within India ect... The only option for myself & many others out of BHX is to fly Emirates & Emirates isn’t the always cheapest option or most convenient for many who have to travel to India in an emergency.Well I can hardly see it being BHX when ATQ is still at a miserly 1 flight per week, i'd rather see our old schedule gradually re-instated before we start looking at other airports.
Give us back our flights to DEL for starters Air India ?
I still remember Andy Street coming to my local Temple on our Bengali Hindu festival of Kali Puja in 2019 saying they are working on securing a direct a direct Mumbai to Birmingham flight but also said they are working to get a direct Ahmedabad as well as Kolkata flight as well.With the large Gujarati population of the Midlands I've always thought that Ahmedabad could do well, especially if it could be combined with Mumbai.
For now though I'll take just getting us back to where we were in 2019.
We may see them in BHX hopefully when they increase the frequency,https://simpleflying.com/air-india-leasing-deltas-boeing-777s/amp/

Some really interesting reads I found on LinkedIn this morning about Air India acquiring Deltas 777-200ER’s.
@IanFarquharson I hope so to, would be great to have new AI/ex Delta 777-200ER’s at BHX especially if they decide to re-start a daily Delhi service, but from what I read the 777-200ER are replacing their gas-guzzling LR’s and will be used for their US flights.We may see them in BHX hopefully when they increase the frequency,
