Before 1947, airmail marked a significant leap forward in India’s postal system, facilitating faster communication across vast distances. The first official airmail service was launched in 1911, with a historic flight from Kolkata to Delhi, coinciding with the visit of the Prince of Wales. Over the following years, airmail stamps were introduced, including the notable 1929 airmail series, which featured airplanes and other aviation-themed designs. By the 1930s, airmail services expanded to connect key cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Karachi. These routes played a vital role in strengthening communication across the British Empire, laying the foundation for India’s modern postal network post-independence in 1947.
