New York's John F Kennedy International Airport is to get its first Air India Mumbai flight in four years.
The Indian carrier is to resume the service on February 14 after it was suspended in early 2019. It is to be the third non-stop flight to the US from Mumbai, joining Newark and San Francisco and taking Air India to 47 non-stop flights a week to the US.
"Adding this new service from Mumbai to New York JFK, following December’s launch of non-stop flights from Mumbai to San Francisco, affirms our commitment to develop a major international hub in India’s commercial capital. With the opening of this route, Air India will offer 47 nonstop flights available each week between India and the United States, with a further 14 serving Canada every week," said Campbell Wilson, the airline's chief executive and managing director.
