Air India is set to add new destinations in the US after a gap of nearly 10 years and 15-hour-long ultra-long-haul flight services are expected to commence from India to Los Angeles, California and Dallas, Texas. At present, Air India is the only Indian airline that operates flights to the US. The airline currently serves five destinations in the US – San Francisco, Chicago, New York-JFK, Newark and Washington. There is a high demand for direct flight connections to India from the diaspora market. The flight services are expected to start before the end of 2024. The plan is to deploy Boeing 777s to these destinations. In addition, Air India will start non-stop services between Delhi and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia on September 15, as per a report.
