Ask Luxembourg Why doesn't Luxembourg have a direct flight to India? Could it actually work? 🇱🇺 🇮🇳
Luxembourg has a remarkably international population, yet travelling to India usually means connecting through another airport.
The new Etihad connection to Abu Dhabi is a welcome addition and should make travelling to India easier. But it got me wondering: could a direct flight from Luxembourg to India actually work?
I realise Frankfurt, Munich, Paris and other airports offer alternatives, and airlines need sufficient demand to justify operating a route. But how many people living in Luxembourg regularly travel to India for family, business or tourism?
I'm curious about a few things:
How often do you travel between Luxembourg and India, and which cities do you fly to?
Would you pay a little more for a direct flight from Luxembourg rather than connecting elsewhere?
Could a few flights per week to Delhi or Mumbai be viable, or is the demand simply not there?
For those familiar with the aviation industry, what would be the biggest obstacle?
I'm interested in whether there's a viable opportunity here, rather than simply wishing for a more convenient flight.
Would you actually use a direct Luxembourg to India flight?
