United Airlines starts daily Delhi-Chicago nonstop flights
NEW DELHI: United Airlines launched its Delhi-Chicago nonstop on Saturday morning, connecting the capital to three American cities now — New York (Newark), San Francisco (SFO) and the windy city — on its network.
Next summer, it will start Bengaluru-SFO nonstop. These flights will be operated by Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
United country manager (India) Harvinder Singh said: “We are excited to inaugurate our daily, nonstop service between New Delhi and our hometown Chicago O’Hare hub. This new flight strengthens our international route network and provides our customers from India with even greater travel choice, as well as the option of our Polaris business class service with flat-bed seats. With a network of connections from our Chicago O’Hare hub to 84 other destinations across the US, Mexico and the Caribbean, the new service opens up opportunities for both business and leisure travellers alike.”
Till now, United had flights on Newark-Delhi and Mumbai routes and SFO-Delhi. With the new route, it will operate four daily nonstop flights from India. A new daily nonstop service between Bengaluru and San Francisco will commence on May 8, 2021.
