Air India Resumes Non-Stop Delhi, Mumbai to New York Flights, Cuts Travel Time
Air India has resumed non-stop flights connecting Delhi and Mumbai with New York, reducing travel time by up to five hours. Previously, flights required technical refuelling stops in Rome due to airspace restrictions following Pakistan's closure of its airspace to Indian carriers and regional tensions in the Middle East. With the easing of these restrictions, Air India now operates direct flights on all four routes to New York's JFK and Newark airports, using Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, improving connectivity and passenger convenience.
