Air India to launch non-stop New York-Delhi flight

Washington: India's national carrier Air India is launching a daily non-stop New York-Delhi service from Feb 8 with a state-of-the-art Boeing 777-200LR aircraft to reduce the travel time between the two cities to 14 hours.
The flight will depart from New York's JFK International Airport at 4:00 p.m. local time and arrive in Delhi at 4:30 p.m. the next afternoon. Returning flights will depart Delhi at 12:30 a.m. and arrive at JFK at 5:45 a.m. local time the same day.
The new flight will be the second non-stop service to India from JFK and Air India will increase the frequency to 28 flights a week from New York, the most of any carrier. On Aug 1, Air India introduced its first daily, non-stop service from JFK to Mumbai on a Boeing 777-200LR.
The aircraft is equipped with the latest in-flight features, including on-demand audio and video entertainment in each seat, the airline said.
