Air India plans direct flight to US from Bengaluru and Hyderabad from Jan
Widening the options for passengers to travel non-stop between India and the US, national carrier Air India is planning direct flights from Bengaluru and Hyderabad to that country from January.
These twice-a-week non-stop flights will be operated between Bengaluru and San Francisco (SFO), and Hyderabad and Chicago. At present, Air India operates non-stop flights to the US from Delhi and Mumbai.
In a press release, Bangalore International Airport Limited announced that Air India would operate 238-seater Boeing 777-200LR aircraft to San Francisco from January 11. At 14,000 km, this would be Air India’s longest route, and also the longest flight to any destination from India.
