New Delhi:
Air India today resumed direct flights from Bengaluru to San Francisco and now the airline has 37 non-stop flights a week between various cities in India and the US.
After the acquisition of Air India in January this year, the Tata group is expanding both its network and its fleet.
In a press release, the airline said it is resuming non-stop flight between Bengaluru and San Francisco. The flight is operated three times a week on Friday, Sunday and Wednesday with the Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.
The service started on Friday.
The last time Air India operated the Bengaluru-San Francisco flight was March 20, 2022.
“The direct distance between Bengaluru and San Francisco is approximately 13,993km and the cities are located diametrically opposite ends of the globe with a time zone change of approximately 13.5 hours. Total flight time on this route will exceed 17 hours depending on wind speed on that particular day,” the release read.
With the resumption of services, Air India now has 37 non-stop flights per week between India and the US.
Currently, the airline operates non-stop flights from Delhi to New York, Newark, Washington DC, San Francisco and Chicago and from Mumbai to Newark.
Air India will continue to spread its wings in the US with the start of its first-ever non-stop service between Mumbai and San Francisco and to New York, the release said.
