ANA Expands India-Japan Connectivity: Mumbai-Tokyo Flights to Go Daily from March 29

In a move that signals a robust resurgence in international travel and a deepening of ties between two of Asia’s most influential economies, All Nippon Airways (ANA) has officially announced a significant expansion of its service on the India-Japan corridor. Starting March 29, 2026, the Japanese carrier will upgrade its Narita–Mumbai route from a five-times-weekly service to a full daily operation.

This announcement is more than just a logistical update; it is a testament to the growing demand for seamless, high-quality connectivity between the financial heart of India and the tech-driven metropolis of Tokyo. Whether for business magnates, eager students, or wanderlust-driven tourists, the “Wings of Japan” are opening wider for the Indian market.

The New Schedule: Daily Nonstop Excellence

Currently, ANA operates the Narita–Mumbai route (Flights NH 829/830) five times a week, skipping Wednesdays and Mondays. However, under the newly unveiled FY2026 international schedule, the airline will fill those gaps.

From March 29 to July 17, 2026, travelers can expect seven round-trips per week. This daily nonstop service ensures that Mumbai’s travelers have the ultimate flexibility. No longer will business meetings or vacation departures have to be squeezed into specific days of the week; the daily frequency allows for spontaneous travel and more efficient corporate planning.

Seasonal Adjustments and Strategy

In a display of data-driven fleet management, ANA has noted that this daily surge is part of a seasonal strategy. Following the peak period, from July 18 to August 31, 2026, the service will be adjusted to three weekly round-trips (operating on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays).

This “fine-tuning” is a hallmark of ANA’s broader FY2026 international strategy. The airline group—which includes ANA, Peach Aviation, and AirJapan—aims to operate at 105% of its previous international capacity levels. By adjusting frequencies based on seasonal demand patterns, ANA ensures that its 5-star service remains sustainable and efficient while still being there when the market needs it most.

The Delhi–Haneda Connection: A Stable Anchor

While Mumbai sees a seasonal boost, India’s capital remains a pillar of consistent connectivity. ANA confirmed that its Delhi–Haneda service (NH 837/838) will continue its daily operations without interruption.

This dual-gateway strategy is vital. By connecting Delhi to Haneda (closer to central Tokyo) and Mumbai to Narita (a major international hub for onward connections to North America), ANA is effectively blanketing the Indian subcontinent with options. It allows Indian travelers not only to reach Japan but to use Tokyo as a world-class transit point for global journeys.

Beyond the Flight: The Economic Impact

The strengthening of air links is rarely just about tourism. The India-Japan economic corridor is buzzing with activity. From Japanese investments in India’s infrastructure and tech sectors to Indian professionals finding new opportunities in Japan’s aging but high-tech economy, the need for face-to-face interaction has never been higher.

Students, too, are a growing demographic. With Japan actively courting international students to diversify its universities, the daily Mumbai flight provides a reliable link for the thousands of Indian scholars who call Japan home.

The 5-Star Experience: Why ANA Matters

For those who have flown with ANA, the news of increased frequency is a welcome relief. As a consistent SKYTRAX 5-Star rated airline, ANA brings a level of hospitality (known in Japan as Omotenashi) that turns a long-haul flight into a cultural experience. From world-class Japanese cuisine served at 35,000 feet to meticulously designed cabins that prioritize passenger comfort, the airline has set a high bar for the Mumbai-Tokyo route.

Furthermore, ANA’s commitment to sustainability and leadership in aviation technology makes it a preferred choice for the modern, environmentally conscious traveler.

A Future-Forward Move

As the world moves into 2026, the aviation industry is shedding the last of its post-pandemic hesitations. ANA’s decision to boost the Mumbai route to daily status is a bold vote of confidence in India’s economic trajectory. It signals that the “Picturesque Japan” dream and the “Vibrant India” reality are now closer than ever before.

For the traveler sitting in Mumbai, the Land of the Rising Sun is now just a daily flight away. Whether you’re heading to Tokyo for a high-stakes board meeting or to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, ANA is ready to take you there—every single day.
