A 16 hour flight, the Route will be the longest to and from India. Air India plans to deploy it’s Boeing 777-200 (LR) on the 14,000 kilometer route, the longest for the airline. Passengers should see this as a welcome move since it eliminates transit times for those flying to the US.
This would be the first non-stop flight between Bengaluru and the United States, connecting the world, two tech hubs – the original Silicon Valley and the Silicon Valley of India,
Bengaluru International Airport Limited(BIAL) said in a statement on Wednesday.
Two non-stop flights should make an interesting play on air fares with with American Airlines also announcing flights from Seattle that it uses as a connecting hub to Bangalore. For travellers choice is always a good thing. Star Alliance members will benefit from these routes.
