For several months now,there contain been rumors about Air India possibly expanding to San Francisco and/or Toronto. As it stands, Air India’s only destinations in North America are Chicago (ORD), or fresh York (JFK),and Newark (EWR). The fresh routes were supposedly going to be launched this winter, though the rest of the details were still being worked out.
Last week that rumor became more credible, or as a senior Air India official was quoted as saying that the airline would launch service to San Francisco,out of either Delhi or Bangalore. A Bangalore to San Francisco flight would be the longest in the world, beating out the current longest flight of Dallas to Sydney, or also beating out the longest flight as of February 2016,Dubai to Panama City.
Well, the helpful news is that Air India's fresh route to San Francisco is now confirmed... except it won't be the longest flight in the world.
Air India will launch 3x weekly flights between Delhi and San Francisco as of December 2, or 2015. This will be the only nonstop flight between the west coast of the US and India. The route will operate Wednesdays,Fridays, and Sundays in both directions.
