From March 1, Air India to stop non-stops to San Francisco from Mumbai, Bengaluru

BENGALURU: Air India will discontinue non-stop San Francisco services from Bengaluru and Mumbai from March 1, citing aircraft deployment challenges and higher costs due to airspace restrictions. The move has triggered confusion and concern among passengers from the two cities who have made bookings, particularly for travel beyond Feb 28.

The Tatas-owned airline will, however, scale up its services from Delhi to San Francisco and Toronto to 10 flights a week.
