Non-stop Bengaluru-San Francisco flight from 2021

United Airlines will launch a non-stop flight between Bengaluru and San Francisco from the summer of 2021. The American airline announced the plan on Wednesday as part of its strategy to expand its global route network with new non-stop services to India, Africa and Hawaii.

Beginning December 2020, United will introduce new nonstop service between Chicago and New Delhi. “For the first time ever, United customers will be able to travel nonstop between San Francisco and Bengaluru starting spring 2021,” the airline announced.

Chicago has the second-highest population of Indian-Americans in the United States, and customers from more than 130 U.S. cities can connect on United through O’Hare International Airport. “Service from San Francisco to Bengaluru connects two international technology hubs, broadening United’s west coast service to India, which also includes San Francisco to New Delhi.”
