Air India Restores Non-Stop Delhi, Mumbai-New York Flights; Cuts Travel Time by 5 Hours
The airline said the change cuts travel time by up to five hours after airspace restrictions eased.
- Air India restored nonstop flights on all four routes connecting Delhi and Mumbai with Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport following the easing of airspace restrictions.
- Earlier this year, the closure of Pakistan's airspace and regional conflicts in the Middle East forced Indian carriers to make technical refuelling stops in Rome, extending travel durations significantly.
- Airbus A350-900 aircraft serve Delhi to New York routes, featuring 28 Business Class suites, 24 Premium Economy seats, and 264 Economy Class seats, while Boeing aircraft operate Mumbai routes.
- Journeys now take approximately 17 hours, while the airline maintains one daily service to JFK alongside four weekly flights to Newark from Delhi and three from Mumbai.
- Eliminating the inconvenience of technical stops, the airline strengthens connectivity on key international markets through these nonstop services, the airline said.
