Creating history, Air India’s Longest flight from San Francisco to Bengaluru with an all- woman crew landed in the city on Monday.
As the flight (AI-176) landed at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru and the crew members walked to the airport lounge, there was a huge crowd of people to receive them with elation and joy for setting a new record of an all-woman crew flying the longest distance over the North Pole.
Air India had said earlier this will be the longest commercial flight in the world to be operated by it or any other airline in India.
The direct distance between the two cities at opposite ends of the world is 13,993 km with a time zone change of around 13.5 hours.
